ROASTED GRAPEFRUIT

In 2010, Sam Sifton, who was then The New York Times restaurant critic, made a list of the 15 best things he ate in New York City that year. For breakfast, he chose a dish from Pulino's in SoHo, which is now closed. This quick-cooked grapefruit is not so much a dish as a magic trick, the fruit covered with a caramel of muscovado sugar and mint that transforms it into ambrosia.

Time 15m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 grapefruit
1/3 cup muscovado sugar
2 teaspoons finely chopped mint

Steps:

  • Cut the grapefruit in half and thoroughly loosen all sections with a knife. Dry the cut surface with a paper towel.
  • Put the sugar in a 10-inch heavy skillet and place over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons water to the pan and swirl it into the sugar. Continue swirling until the sugar melts and darkens slightly, approximately 3 to 5 minutes; do not let it burn. Immediately add the grapefruit halves, cut sides down, and turn off the heat.
  • Move the grapefruit in the pan to coat the surface. Using tongs or two spoons, transfer to serving dishes, cut sides up. Sprinkle with mint and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and ripe grapefruits: This will ensure that your Grapefruitini has the best flavor.
  • Use a good quality gin: A London dry gin or a citrus-flavored gin will work well in this cocktail.
  • Make sure your grenadine is fresh: Old or stale grenadine can ruin the taste of your Grapefruitini.

  • Serve your Grapefruitini chilled: This is the best way to enjoy this refreshing cocktail.
