Ingredients
- Roughly cracked or small ice cubes
- ½ ounce fresh lime juice
- 6 ounces fresh ruby red grapefruit juice, plus 2 slices for garnish
- 4 ounces tequila or mezcal
- Soda water, to top
Equipment
- 2 Highball or Collins glasses
Instructions
- Fill two highball glasses three-quarters full with ice. Divide the lime juice, 1 ounce of the habanero lime syrup, grapefruit juice, and tequila evenly between the two glasses. Top each with soda water and stir gently to combine. Make a 2-inch slit toward the center point of the grapefruit wheel and slide it onto the rim of each glass. Serve at once.
Cook's Notes
Use disposable gloves when seeding the habanero to ensure that none of its fiery potency lingers on your fingers!
