Ingredients
  

  • 2 oz gin
  • 4-6 oz freshly squeezed pink grapefruit juice

Instructions
 

  • Rim a double rocks glass with salt and fill it with ice.
  • Pour the gin and grapefruit juice into the glass and stir to combine.
  • Garnish with a grapefruit wheel and fresh herbs, if desired.

Notes

To rim a glass with salt:
Add a few tablespoons of kosher or flake sea salt to a shallow dish.
Wet the rim of the glass by running a wedge of citrus along it. You could also fill a separate shallow dish with grapefruit juice and dunk the rim of the glass in the juice.
Dip the moistened rim into the salt and gently shake to remove any excess.
