Difficulty 2/5     Prep Time 2 MIN     Cook Time 10 MIN     Serves 1
INGREDIENTS
  • 2 limes
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 oz. Tequila or Mezcal (Mezcal has a more smoky taste)
  • 1/2 oz. Triple sec on the sweet side use Cointreau or Grand Marnier of you prefer a sharper citrus flavor
  • White Sugar
DIRECTIONS
  1. Preheat your gas, charcoal or pellet grill to grill on MEDIUM-HIGH heat from 400-500F (204-260C). Cut the citrus fruit in half and grill face down for ten minutes or until the fruit starts to caramelize. Remove from the heat and squeeze / strain. Reserve 1 oz. of juice mixed lemon and lime. Rim the glass with sugar and lime juice. In a shaker mix 1 oz. citrus juice, tequila and Triple Sec. Shake with ice. Pour over ice.

Oranges grill well too and they add a nice touch of sweetness to the entire drink.

Enjoy!
