Grapefruit Spritzer

This elegant drink combines tart grapefruit juice with sparkling water and a hint of sweetness. It's light, refreshing, and visually stunning — great for entertaining or cooling down on hot days.

Ingredients (Serves 2)

• 1 cup fresh grapefruit juice (ruby red recommended)

• 1–2 teaspoons honey or agave syrup (optional, to taste)

• 1 cup chilled sparkling water or club soda

• Ice cubes

• Grapefruit wedges and mint, for garnish

Instructions

1. Juice the Grapefruit
   Squeeze fresh grapefruit and strain if needed. Use ruby red for a naturally sweeter flavor.

2. Sweeten (Optional)
   Stir in honey or agave if you'd like a slightly sweeter drink.

3. Add Fizz
   In glasses filled with ice, pour half the juice and top off with sparkling water. Stir gently.

4. Garnish and Serve
   Add a slice of grapefruit and a sprig of mint for a fresh finish. Serve immediately while bubbly.

Tips

• Mix in a splash of orange juice if your grapefruit is too tart.

• Use flavored sparkling water (like lemon or berry) for extra dimension.

• Chill the juice and sparkling water beforehand so the ice doesn’t dilute the flavor.
