Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grapefruit

    Cut the grapefruits in half and juice them using a citrus juicer, making sure to remove any seeds.

  2. 2

    Make the Mint Syrup

    In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and 1/2 cup of water. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely. Add the fresh mint leaves and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it steep for 15 minutes. Strain the syrup into a bowl and discard the mint leaves.

  3. 3

    Mix the Drink

    In a large pitcher, combine the grapefruit juice, mint syrup, and lemon juice. Stir well to combine.

  4. 4

    Add Soda and Ice

    Pour in the club soda and add the ice cubes. Stir gently to mix and ensure the soda doesn't lose its fizz.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Rim your glasses with salt (optional) and pour the grapefruit crush into the glasses over additional ice if desired. Garnish with a sprig of mint and serve immediately.
