A Temperance Collins with Little Culprit
Little Culprit is a favourite haunt of the Crane Brothers team - a discrete and elegant establishment for after-hours indulgences, described by founders Kyle Street and Jordan Macdonald as a mischievous younger brother to their Culprit restaurant proper.
Whilst we've not been able to enjoy their august company due to current restrictions, Kyle and his sommelier Angela were kind enough to let us take a little of their magic home with us, with their recipe for a Temperance Collins (temperance technically optional).
INGREDIENTS
GRAPEFRUIT SALT
- 1 tsp Flaky Salt
- 1/4 tsp Grapefruit Zest very fine

- 90ml Pink/Ruby Grapefruit Juice

METHOD
- Chill 2 tall glasses.
- Prepare the salt by combining flaky salt or flaky Himalayan salt with some grapefruit zest.
- Rub a small piece of cut grapefruit around the rim and down 1-2cm of the outside of the glass.
- Sprinkle with your grapefruit salt allowing any excess to fall off.
- Carefully fill each glass with ice.
- Slide a grapefruit slice down the inside of the glass, using the ice to hold it against the side of the glass.

- Shake for 30 seconds then strain into each glass.
