This is a great recipe! We have a large Ruby red grapefruit tree and are always looking for ways to use the fruit. This is our new favorite drink. I did not have carbonated water so I substituted with SF Sprite. It was so good. Everyone was asking for the recipe. Thank you! 10/10
I’m so glad!!
Refreshing without being overpowering. Thanks for the recipe! I had no limes on hand, so I used falernum instead (it’s like a simple syrup with lime juice and some spices) and it turned out great 👍
Such a great reminder to make this!
Love this recipe!
Me too!!! Thanks Jen!
So delicious and perfect for a bbq!
THE perfect sidekick!
Hi Laney,
Do you think this would work well in a blender as a frozen drink?
It’s certainly worth a shot!
