Description
A refreshing cocktail combining the unique flavors of grilled rambutan with tequila, grapefruit, and lime juice, finished with a hint of smoked salt.
Ingredients
Units
- 12 rambutans (peeled and seed removed if fresh, canned rambutans come ready to eat)
- 1 cup tequila
- 1 cup grapefruit juice
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 1 tablespoon smoked salt
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Grill the rambutans for about 5 minutes until they have grill marks and are slightly caramelized.
- In a pitcher, combine the grilled rambutans, tequila, grapefruit juice, lime juice, and smoked salt.
- Stir well and serve over ice.
Notes
The slightly nutty flavors pair wonderfully with tequila, while fresh lime and grapefruit juice highlight the floral and tart elements of the rambutan. A touch of simple syrup is not enough to make the whole concoction sweet; instead, it helps round out the flavor and brighten the mix.
