Preparation

Prepare Simple Syrup
In a small saucepan, combine equal parts sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and let cool. This will yield about 1/2 cup of simple syrup, which can be stored in the refrigerator.

Juice the Grapefruit
Cut the grapefruit in half and use a citrus juicer to extract the juice. Strain the juice to remove pulp and seeds, if desired.
