Make this bright, zesty sparkling drink using fresh grapefruit and lime juice. It is a simple, refreshing beverage perfect for any time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large pink grapefruit, juiced (about 1/2 cup juice)
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons simple syrup (or to taste)
  • 1 cup cold sparkling water or club soda
  • Ice cubes
  • Grapefruit slices and lime wheels, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the fresh citrus juice by squeezing one large grapefruit and 1/4 cup of fresh limes.
  2. In a glass, combine the grapefruit juice, lime juice, and simple syrup. Stir well until the syrup dissolves.
  3. Fill a tall glass with ice cubes.
  4. Pour the citrus juice mixture over the ice.
  5. Top the glass with cold sparkling water or club soda.
  6. Gently stir the drink once or twice to combine the layers without losing too much carbonation.
  7. Garnish each glass with a slice of grapefruit and a lime wheel before serving immediately.

Notes

  • For a low-sugar option, substitute the simple syrup with a few drops of liquid stevia or omit it entirely if your grapefruit is sweet.
  • If you want a cocktail, add 1.5 ounces of white rum or vodka to the glass before adding the sparkling water.
  • Chill your sparkling water beforehand for maximum fizz.
