Drink
It's the start of citrus season, and using Smoked Salt I've adapted one of my favorite warm-weather cocktails into a tasty autumn sipper. Included is an option for those that don't drink, and a couple ideas to take it in spicy new directions.
Ingredients
A pinch of Smoked Salt N8
3 ounces of fresh red grapefruit juice
1/2 ounce of fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 ounces of blanco tequila
Simple syrup (optional)
Ice
Seltzer (optional)
1 dash of Angostura bitters
Lemon or lime wheel for garnish
Directions
Add the Smoked Salt N8, grapefruit juice, lemon juice and tequila to a cocktail shaker filled with ice and shake until cold. Strain into a tumbler 2/3 full of crushed or cubed ice and adjust sweetness to your taste with simple syrup.
Optionally, add seltzer for a longer and more refreshing drink. Garnish with a dash of Angostura bitters and a lime or lemon slice, and serve with a straw.
