Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Cut the grapefruits in half crosswise and use a sharp knife to carefully segment the fruit from the peel and pith. Place the grapefruit halves on the prepared baking sheet, cut side up.

  3. In a small bowl, mix together the tequila, honey, and cinnamon until well combined.

  4. Drizzle the tequila mixture evenly over each grapefruit half, making sure to coat the entire surface.

  5. Bake the grapefruit in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are slightly caramelized and the fruit is heated through.

  6. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the grapefruit cool slightly before serving.

  7. Garnish each grapefruit half with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and added freshness.

  8. Serve the baked tequila grapefruit warm as a standalone breakfast dish or as a side to your favorite morning meal.
