How to make a Lavender and Bruleed Grapefruit Greyhound
Prep Time: 3 hours
Cook Time: 1 min
Yields: 1-10 servings
Ingredients
- 1.5 oz lavender infused vodka (per guest)
- 4-6 oz fresh squeezed Pittman & Davis Ruby Red Grapefruit juice (per guest)
Directions
- For the lavender infused vodka, add 4 tbsp dried culinary lavender to 2 cups of vodka. Cover and let sit for three hours, stirring occasionally. Strain through a fine mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth or a nut milk bag and store in the fridge. [This will be enough for a maximum of 10 drinks — if you plan on serving more, double the recipe].
- For the brûléed grapefruit garnish, sprinkle a thin coating of sugar onto grapefruit slices, then place under a broiler on high. Let broil until the sugar bubbles and edges blacken. Remove from oven and slice each round down the middle (so you have half a slice for each drink).
- For each cocktail, pour 1.5 oz of the infused vodka into an ice filled glass, then top with 4-6 oz of fresh grapefruit juice to taste. Stir in glass, then garnish with fresh lavender and a brûléed grapefruit slice.
