Base Soda

1 cups Fever-Tree Indian Tonic or Sparkling Water1/4 cups Fresh pink grapefruit juice0 to taste Grapefruit soda (if substituting for Fever-Tree grapefruit soda)

Sweetener & Flavoring

1/2 tbs Simple syrup (1:1 sugar to water)1/2 tsp Fresh lime juice2 dashes Grapefruit bitters (optional)

Garnish

1 piece Thin grapefruit wheel or twist1 cup Ice cubes1 sprig Fresh mint sprig (optional)

Method

Prepare Glass & Garnish

Chill glass

Place a highball or Collins glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare the ingredients so the final drink stays cold.

Cut a thin wheel or twist from the grapefruit for garnish. Set aside in the refrigerator so it stays cold and firm.

Mix Soda

Fill the chilled glass with fresh ice cubes until nearly full (about 1 cup).

Pour in 0.25 cups (about 60 ml) of fresh pink grapefruit juice over the ice.

Add 0.5 tablespoon simple syrup and 0.5 teaspoon fresh lime juice to the glass. These balance acidity and mimic the gentle sweetness of Fever-Tree grapefruit soda.

If using grapefruit bitters, add 2 dashes now.

Top carefully with 1 cup (about 240 ml) of Fever-Tree Indian Tonic or a neutral sparkling water. Pour slowly over the back of a spoon or down the side of the glass to preserve carbonation and create a gentle layering effect. Stir once gently with a bar spoon (1–2 slow turns) to integrate.

Finish & Serve

Garnish by placing the grapefruit wheel on the rim or floating it on top. Add a mint sprig if using, gently slapping it between your palms first to release the aroma.

Serve immediately while cold and fizzy.
