Equal parts grapefruit sour and lemon milkshake, the Pompelmo Sour from Estela uses a grapefruit oleo saccharum to create a deep citrusy base, which is pumped up with gin and bittersweet Amaro Montenegro.

Editor's Note
To make oleo saccharum, remove the peel from 1 large grapefruit (leaving as little pith as possible). Chop peels roughly. Combine chopped grapefruit peels with 2 cups of white sugar and pack tightly into container. Let mixture sit for 24 hours to allow citrus oils to infuse into sugar. Once infused, add 1 1/2 cups cold or room temperature water to mixture and allow to dissolve.
