Each Summer, on the first warm weekend, we have a party by the water with our friends. We cook up obscene amounts of food, laugh, and enjoy the company of some really terrific people. Its tradition that we serve three different drinks for them to sample. We ask them to vote for the one they liked the most and the winning concoction becomes our drink for the summer. This was our winner this year, named after its creator, Brian Scott Tepper.
2 oz. Tequila
4 oz. fresh Grapefruit juice
Dash Pomegranate juice
Simple syrup to taste
Splash soda water
Over lots of ice shake the first four ingredients. Pour into glass and top with soda. Serve with a pink grapefruit supreme. Enjoy!
* Supreming is a technique that removes the membrane from citrus fruit so it can be served in slices. To supreme an orange, lemon, lime, or grapefruit, begin by trimming off the very top and bottom of the fruit with a sharp knife. Next, set the fruit on end, and carefully cut the skin from its flesh, beginning at the top and following the curves down. Then, carefully cut out each section of the fruit by inserting the blade of the knife between the flesh and the membrane on both sides. The wedges should come out easily, leaving only the membrane intact.
