Ingredients
- 1 grapefruit peeled
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- ½ lime
- 1 cup sparkling water
- ½ cup ice
Instructions
- Add grapefruit, maple syrup and lime to a blender and blend on high speed until smooth.
- Divide into two glasses, using a sieve to catch the pulp.
- Add ice and sparkling water to each glass.
Notes
- Use fresh citrus: Fresh grapefruit and lime will give you the brightest, most refreshing flavor.
- Adjust the sweetness: Grapefruits can vary from sweet to tart. Start with less maple syrup, then taste and add more if needed before serving.
- Add the sparkling water last: For the best fizz, stir in the sparkling water just before serving. This helps keep the mocktail light and bubbly.
- Serve it ice cold: This drink is at its absolute best when served over plenty of ice. Chill your ingredients beforehand for an extra-refreshing sip.
- Garnish tip: Rub a grapefruit wedge around the rim of the glass, then dip it into a plate of fresh lime zest before serving.
- Storage: Store the citrus mixture (without the sparkling water) in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Add the sparkling water just before serving.
