Author Notes
I learned about grilled cocktails while attending Kingsford University. If you love the smokiness the grill imparts in food, then you will love this classic citrus cocktail with a twist. By grilling the lemons and lime, the fruit caramelizes and gets a nice char while also making them extra juicy for squeezing into your pitcher. —Girl on a Grill
