Pink Screwdriver

Published on 07 April 2022
A modern twist on an
easy but classic cocktail, the Pink Screwdriver uses grapefruit instead of the
usual orange. The slight tartness of the grapefruit works really well with
creamy avocado, so match with food writer Silvana Franco’s Avocado and Crab Pan
Waffles for a special weekend brunch. The cocktail’s chilli salt rim adds extra
kick, as well as a professional-looking finish. Looking for more cocktail recipes or vodka cocktails? Look no further.Time and servings

Combine the salt and chilli on a saucer. Using a lime wedge, wet the rim of 4 glasses, then dip each into the chilli salt.Step 3
Fill the glasses with ice, strain the chilled cocktail into each and garnish with slices of lime.
