Method
Rim (optional)
Prep rim
If you want a salted rim, combine fine sea salt and finely grated grapefruit zest on a small plate. Rub the cocktail glass rim with a grapefruit wedge, then dip and rotate the rim in the salt-zest mixture until lightly coated. Set glass aside.
Cocktail
Dry shake (if using egg white)
In a cocktail shaker, add Everleaf Marine, Highpoint Ruby, fresh pink grapefruit juice, fresh lime juice, simple syrup, a pinch of sea or smoked salt, and the egg white (if using). Seal the shaker and shake vigorously without ice for 10–15 seconds to emulsify the egg white and integrate the salt.
Wet shake
Open the shaker, add 6 ice cubes, then reseal and shake hard for 12–15 seconds until the shaker becomes very cold. This chills, dilutes, and further aerates the mixture.
Strain and serve
Double-strain the cocktail into the prepared chilled coupe or rocks glass (over fresh large ice if you prefer it on the rocks). If you did not use egg white, a single fine strain is sufficient. Allow the foam to settle for a few seconds if present.
Garnish
Express a grapefruit twist over the drink to release oils, then drop the twist or rest a small grapefruit segment on the rim. For a smoky hint, lightly sprinkle a tiny pinch of smoked salt on the foam or on top of the cocktail.
Serve immediately. Adjust salt, citrus, or syrup next time to taste: more lime for brightness, more syrup for sweetness, or a touch more Highpoint Ruby for amplified ruby-grapefruit character.
