Right hand in a trench coat: Science™
No. You need a solvent (water) to get the extraction to work well –- there’s more surface contact with a solvent extraction than a dry grind, which is essentially what would happen in a citrus + sugar grind.
If “dry grind” is a specific term I’m unfamiliar with it, but having made oleo-saccharum I can say that the result of muddling the citrus peel and sugar is indeed quite moist. But you also add hot water to dissolve the sugar after an hour, and that presumably would pick up anything water-soluble that didn’t leech into the sugar.
