Ingredients
- 2 Texas Rio Star grapefruits, peeled and sectioned
- 16 oz. freshly squeezed Texas Rio Star grapefruit juice
- 5 oz. Campari
- 6 oz. simple syrup
- 7 gelatin sheets (or 7 tablespoons powdered gelatin)
- aged balsamic vinegar
Directions
-
Prepare the gelatin: soak gelatin sheets in cold water until softened then squeeze out excess water. For the powdered gelatin, add just enough cold water to the powdered gelatin so that the liquid is completely absorbed. Set aside until needed.
-
- Arrange the grapefruit segments in martini glasses, reserving a few for garnishes.
-
- In a medium saucepan, combine simple syrup, Campari, and grapefruit juice. Bring to a boil.
-
- Remove saucepan from heat. Add the softened gelatin and stir until gelatin is completely dissolved.
-
- Pour the warm liquid into the martini glasses and chill until gelatin is set.

To Serve
-
Toss the reserved grapefruit in a little aged balsamic vinegar and garnish each martini glass with a few segments.

TIP
-
To make simple syrup, combine equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Cool and chill until needed
