  • 6 Thin strips lemon peel,1-2"
  • 3 Large ruby/yellow grapefruit
  • Citrus leaves,rinsed/patted

The aromatic flavor of gin, which comes from juniper berries, complements

option.

high heat until reduced to 1/2 cup. Gently twist lemon peel and drop into
syrup; let col. If made ahead, cover and chill up to 3 days.
2. With a sharp knife, cut peel and all white membrane from grapefruit.
Over a bowl, cut between membranes to release fruit segments; squeeze juice
from membrane into bowl. Discard membrane. If made ahead, cover and let
stand up to 3 hours.
3. Spoon fruit, juice, and syrup equally into 6 dessert bowls. Garnish with
leaves. To each portion add to taste about 1 tablespoon gin or orange
juice, and juice from lemon wedges.
