How To Make tropical sunshine

  • 1
    Make the syrup: Place the grapefruit juice and sugar in a saucepan. Split the serrano chiles and discard just half the seeds (or more if you like it less spicy). Set aside. Bring the juice mixture to a boil and simmer until the sugar dissolves. Add the chiles with seeds, and continue to simmer another 10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool completely. Strain and keep refrigerated.

    For the cocktail: Add ice to a cocktail shaker and add all the ingredient. Shake until frosty and strain into an ice-filled glass. Garnish, if you like, with a slice of grapefruit or lime.
