Buckfast with Grapefruit Juice – the Perfect Serve

Another attempt to find a way to drink the Buckfast. This was pleasant. I got it from the Buckfast website. I added more grapefruit juice than they suggested. The picture on the website looks a lovely juicy orange, whereas the real thing is a dark brown.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 50ml Buckfast
  • 50ml pink grapefruit juice
  • 2 dashes of orange bitters
  • Soda water

METHOD:

  • Put a lot of ice in a highball glass, pour over the ingredients in the order listed, stir and serve.

Grilled grapefruit

One of my mother’s recipes from the 1970s.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 grapefruit
  • 2 tsp soft brown sugar
  • 1 tsp butter
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

METHOD:

  • Cut the grapefruit in half, remove the pips and loosen the segments with a grapefruit knife.
  • Mix the butter, sugar and spice together, and spread onto the grapfruit halves.
  • Place under a hot grill for five minutes, to caramelise the sugar.
