I’m 30!
The Pink & Gray – My Signature Drink
One of my favorite and hardest things on my list of 30 things to do before I’m 30 was #16: create my own signature cocktail. Steve is famous for his “Stever” and so I needed one of my own! I enlisted the help of a my good friend Tom Olcott who is an excellent mixologist – he created Motto so… yep, I went to the right person. May I introduce to you the Pink & Gray!
- 2 oz of tequilla blanco
- 2 large fresh basil leaves
- 2 oz of freshly squeezed grapefruit juice
- 3/4 oz of agave
- 3/4 oz of Pom
- Club soda
- Pepper
Grab your citrus squeezer and start juicing those grapefruits!
A 1/2 a grapefruit usually yields about 3-4 oz.
How to make it: Fill your cocktail shaker with a handful of ice. Roughly break up the basil and add it to the shaker. Now add the grapefruit juice, tequila, agave and Pom. Shake it up!!
Pour into a glass and top with a little club soda. (It is delicious strait up or on the rocks.) And now for the gray… A little garnish of pepper!
And here she is in all her glory…The Pink & Gray on the Gray lady! Enjoy!!
