Grapefruit Mocktail
Ingredients:
1 grapefruit, juiced
1/2 lime, juiced
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup sparkling water
Ice
Method:
1. Combine grapefruit juice, lime juice and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat.
2. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sugar has dissolved.
3. Remove from heat and let cool.
4. Combine grapefruit mixture and sparkling water in a jug.
5. Serve over ice.
Potential changes & improvements:
-Try using sparkling grapefruit juice instead of sparkling water for a more intense grapefruit flavour.
-Add a splash of gin, vodka or rum for a boozy twist.
-For a non-alcoholic version, add a splash of grapefruit juice or lemonade.
Works Well With…
-Pair with salty snacks like chips or popcorn.
-Serve as an aperitif before a meal.
Common Mistakes:
-Not stirring the sugar until it has dissolved completely. This will result in a grainy mocktail.
-Not letting the grapefruit mixture cool completely before adding the sparkling water. This will cause the sparkling water to go flat.
