Flamingo Grapefruit Mocktail

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon hot water
• 1/4 teaspoon unsulfured molasses
• 1 small pinch kosher salt
• 3/4 ounce fresh lime juice
• 1 ounce unsweetened cranberry juice
• 1 wide strip orange peel
• 3 ounces chilled pink grapefruit soda
• Ice
• Grapefruit wedge, for garnish

Directions

1. Stir the brown sugar, hot water, molasses, and salt together in a small cup until smooth. Let it cool for a minute so it will not melt the ice too quickly.
2. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the brown sugar mixture, lime juice, cranberry juice, and orange peel, then shake until the outside of the shaker feels cold.
3. Strain into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice. Top with the pink grapefruit soda, stir gently, and garnish with a grapefruit wedge.
