How to Make Grapefruit Infused Tequila
This grapefruit infused tequila is delicious in place of traditional silver tequila in any margarita or Paloma cocktail.
Ingredients
- 2 - 4 inch pieces of grapefruit rind
- 2 cups silver tequila
- A pint mason jar and lid
Instructions
- Thoroughly wash your grapefruit.
- Using a vegetable peeler, remove the rind from the grapefruit. Try not to get the white pith underneath the rind. Set aside.
- Place grapefruit peels in a pint mason jar.
- Add tequila and place the lid on the jar.
- Set the jar in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.
- Let sit for 24 hours.
- Note: Be sure to pay attention to timing here. Leave it for multiple days and you will start getting a bitter taste in the infusion.
- Remove the grapefruit peels from the tequila. You can leave the tequila in the mason jar or decant it into a prettier container.
Notes
Store tequila at room temperature for up to 1 month, or in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
