How to Make Broiled Grapefruit Halves

  1. Preheat your broiler.
  2. Cut a small slice from the bottom of each grapefruit half to ensure it sits flat in the baking dish.
  3. Place grapefruit halves in an oven-safe dish.
  4. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier and 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger. Spoon this mixture evenly over one grapefruit half.
  5. In another small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon dark rum and 1 teaspoon packed light brown sugar. Spoon this mixture evenly over the other grapefruit half.
  6. Broil for 5 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
  7. Rotate the dish halfway through cooking for even browning.
  8. Spoon any accumulated juices from the baking dish over the grapefruit halves during the last minute of broiling.
  9. Remove from the broiler and serve immediately. Garnish with a sprig of mint or a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.
