INGREDIENTS
1 red grapefruit (we used Rio Star)
2 Tbsp. Navan vanilla Cognac
2 to 3 Tbsp. turbinado sugar
Mint sprigs for garnish (optional)
PREPARATION
Preheat the broiler.
Cut the grapefruit in half and trim a little bit off the bottoms so that the halves won’t wobble.
Section the grapefruit by running a paring or grapefruit knife around the edges and each segment. To make the grapefruit really easy to eat, remove the white membrane entirely.
Place the grapefruit halves cut-side up on a baking sheet. Pour 1 tablespoon of Navan on each grapefruit half and top each with half the sugar.
Broil until bubbly but not burned, about 5 minutes. Garnish with a mint sprig in the middle.
