Combine the sugar, water, tarragon, and salt in a medium-size heavy saucepan. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring gently, until the sugar has completely dissolved and the syrup is clear, about 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat and let the syrup steep for 1 hour.

Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl. Add grapefruit juice to the syrup and whisk until completely mixed. Cover and refrigerate until completely chilled, at least 4 hours or overnight. The mixture may be stored in the refrigerator for 1 day.

Pour the mixture into molds and freeze.
