Sparkling Grapefruit Paloma Mocktail
Servings: 2
This paloma mocktail tops fresh grapefruit, lime and a touch of maple syrup with sparkling water for a bright, bubbly drink with zero alcohol. It takes 5 minutes, and stirring the bubbles in last keeps every glass fizzy for taco night or the patio.
Ingredients
- 1 grapefruit peeled
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- ½ lime
- 1 cup sparkling water
- ½ cup ice
Instructions
- Combine the grapefruit, maple syrup and lime in a blender and blend on high until smooth.
- Pour through a sieve into two glasses to catch the pulp. Add ice and top with sparkling water.
Notes
- Sweetness Tip: Grapefruits range from sweet to tart, so start with less maple syrup and add more to taste. Here's more on natural sweeteners.
- Prep Tip: Chill the grapefruit, lime and sparkling water beforehand for the coldest drink.
- Rim Tip: Rub the glass rim with a grapefruit wedge, then dip it in fresh lime zest.
- Make Ahead: The citrus base, without the sparkling water, keeps in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 2 days. Add the sparkling water just before serving so it stays fizzy.
