Gonzo Grapefruit

3 ingredients
8 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 whole grapefruits (pink if available), halved
  • 4 ounces vodka (strictly optional, but you know that Hunter S. Thompson would have it this way)
  • 6 teaspoons brown sugar

Directions

  1. 1
    Set 1 oven rack on the highest level, then preheat broiler.
  2. 2
    Using a small serrated knife, cut around grapefruit to separate the fruit from the skin and the segments from each other (just like your mother did for you).
  3. 3
    Pour out a bit of the grapefruit juice to make room for the vodka.
  4. 4
    Drizzle 1 ounce of vodka over each grapefruit half and let it seep between the slices (I doubt your mother did this for you).
  5. 5
    Immediately before broiling, sprinkle 1 1/2 teaspoons of sugar over the top of each grapefruit half.
  6. 6
    Place grapefruit directly on rack under the broiler and broil for 3 minutes.
  7. 7
    Garnish with a raspberry or strawberry, if available.
  8. 8
    Serve immediately.
