  • ¼ Cup Cointreau/Grand Marnier
  • 1 ½ Bottles Red Wine zinfandel or pinot noir
  • 1 Grapefruit halved
  • 1 Orange halved
  • 1 Lime halved
  • 1 Lemon halved

Instructions

  1. Heat a grill pan or an outdoor grill for about five minutes over medium/high heat.
  2. While the grill heats up; add ginger beer, simple syrup, Cointreau, wine, and ice to a large pitcher. Stir to combine.
  3. Place each half of fruit cut-side facing down on the grill. Grill for 5-6 minutes until good grill marks appear. Remove fruit with a pair of tongs, they will be very hot. Place fruit off to the side to slightly cool.
  4. When the fruit can be handled, squeeze each half into the mixture in the pitcher. Add the squeezed halves of fruit to the mixture as well. Stir to combine. Chill for at least thirty minutes. Serve over ice with small grilled citrus slices as garnish.
