Spicy Salty Dog

Servings 2

Ingredients

For the spicy simple syrup:

  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 small jalapeno sliced

For the cocktail:

  • kosher salt
  • 1 cup fresh grapefruit juice
  • ⅓ cup vodka
  • ice

Instructions

  1. To make the spicy simple syrup, combine sugar, water, and sliced jalapeno in a small saucepan. Simmer for about 8 minutes, until it has thickened to a syrupy consistency. Remove from heat. You can store this in the fridge for several days.
  2. To make the cocktails, run a slice of grapefruit along the rims of 2 glasses and dip into kosher salt. Fill with ice.

  3. Combine grapefruit juice, vodka, and simple syrup to taste in a shaker filled with ice. Shake until chilled. Strain over the prepared glasses. Serve immediately with extra jalapeno slices as garnish, if desired.
