NONA Isabella

WHAT ARE THE INGREDIENTS?

• 5 cl NONA June
• 1 Pink grapefruit
• 0.5 Red chili pepper (seeds removed)
• 1 Heaping teaspoon pink peppercorns
• 2 Teaspoons white granulated sugar
• Ice
• Garnish: rosemary sprig

HOW TO MAKE THIS COCKTAIL?

1. Juice the grapefruit and keep the squeezed halves. Cut half a chili pepper in two, remove the seeds, and place it together with a sprig of rosemary in the grapefruit juice. Lightly crush the chili and rosemary, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
2. Crush the pink peppercorns in a mortar. Add coarse pink salt and crush further until slightly finer. Stir in the sugar and spread the mixture onto a small plate.
3. Rub the rims of the glasses with the reserved grapefruit halves. Dip the rims into the sugar-salt mixture to create a nice crystal rim. Chill the glasses until ready to use.
4. Fill the glass with ice cubes (for example, 3 large cubes).
5. Divide the chilled grapefruit juice among the glasses. Add NONA June until the drink rises about 1 cm. Top up with tonic to the rim.
6. Garnish with a few rosemary leaves. Serve without a straw and sip along the crystal rim for the best flavor.
