Smoky Irish Wolfhound Cocktail
Ingredients
  • 1 ruby red grapefruit
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked salt, or to taste
  • 4 pieces crystallized ginger, divided
  • ice cubes, or as needed
  • 3 fluid ounces Irish whiskey
  • 2 cups crushed ice, or as needed
  • 2 ounces ginger beer (such as Fever Tree®)
Instructions
1
Preheat your outdoor grill to its highest temperature setting.
2
Cut a grapefruit in half lengthwise, then cut one of the halves into a thin slice, roughly 1/8 inch thick. Sprinkle both sides of this grapefruit slice with smoked salt.
3
Place the cut-side down half and the thin slice on the hot grill, alongside the other grapefruit halves. Grill until they develop a slight char and visible grill marks appear, flipping the slice halfway through, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the grill and let it cool down.
4
Squeeze the juice from both grapefruit halves, then set them aside. Cut the grapefruit slice into 6 wedges.
5
Add 2 slices of crystallized ginger and 4 wedges of sliced grapefruit to a cocktail shaker. Use a muddler to gently mash the crystallized ginger and grapefruit, releasing their flavors.
6
Fill the shaker with ice cubes, whiskey, and 3 fluid ounces of grapefruit juice. Close the lid and shake vigorously until chilled, around 15 to 20 seconds.
7
Fill two rocks glasses with crushed ice and divide the cocktail mixture amongst the two glasses. Top each glass off with 1 fluid ounce of ginger beer. Garnish with the remaining grapefruit wedges and crystallized ginger.
