EARL GREYHOUND



Earl Greyhound image

This drink starts with a simple shrub, a tart, fruity liquid you make ahead and can also sip straight up or with seltzer-made with sugar, vinegar, citrus, and a tea bag. It's a play on a Greyhound (grapefruit juice and vodka). Salt the rim if you like.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 grapefruit
1 cup white wine vinegar
1 cup white sugar
1 Earl Grey tea bag
ice cubes
1 ½ fluid ounces vodka
grapefruit wedge

Steps:

  • Zest grapefruit, then section the fruit, cutting it away from the peel and inner membranes. You should have 5 teaspoons zest and 3/4 cup grapefruit sections. Puree zest, sections, and any juices with sugar and vinegar. Add tea bag. Chill, covered, 4 hours to 2 days. Remove tea bag and strain.
  • In a cocktail shaker half-filled with ice, combine 2 fluid ounces shrub and vodka. Shake until very cold. Strain into martini glass or an ice-filled old-fashioned glass. Garnish with a grapefruit wedge.

Tips:

  • Choose the right gin. A good gin for an Earl Greyhound should be light and floral, with a citrusy finish. Some good options include Hendrick's Gin, Tanqueray No. TEN, or Bombay Sapphire.
  • Use fresh grapefruit juice. Fresh grapefruit juice will give your cocktail a brighter, more vibrant flavor than store-bought juice. If you don't have fresh grapefruit, you can use a high-quality grapefruit soda or sparkling water.
  • Make sure your Earl Grey tea is strong. The stronger the tea, the more flavorful your cocktail will be. To make a strong cup of Earl Grey tea, use two tea bags per cup of water and steep for at least 5 minutes.
  • Chill your glass before serving. This will help to keep your cocktail cold and refreshing.
  • Garnish with a grapefruit twist. This will add a touch of elegance and a pop of citrus flavor to your cocktail.

Conclusion:

The Earl Greyhound is a refreshing and flavorful cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you are looking for a new cocktail to try, give the Earl Greyhound a try. You won't be disappointed.
