WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

1 gal. of Grapefruit Juice

6 oz. Tequila

1 oz. Agave Syrup

1 oz. Lime Juice

10 slices of Ginger Root

1 Grapefruit (optional)

MAKE GINGER SIMPLE SYRUP:

In a small pot, combine sugar and water, bring to a simmer and stir until sugar is fully dissolved. Add sliced ginger and let simmer for 15 minutes. Turn off heat and let cool down. Let ginger continue to soak for at least 3 hours or up to overnight.

THE SASSY SASH:

Combine grapefruit juice and ginger slices and leave for an hour (or up to overnight for a stronger ginger flavor). Combine tequila, agave, lime juice and ginger syrup. Strain out ginger slices from juice and add 1½ cups of grapefruit ginger juice. Pour over ice and add fresh sliced grapefruit and candied ginger for garnish.

Voila! A drink that comes with a little sass!
