Make this easy, bubbly, and tart non-alcoholic spritz using fresh grapefruit juice for a sophisticated summer drink.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 oz fresh pink grapefruit juice
  • 0.5 oz fresh lime juice
  • 0.5 oz simple syrup (or agave nectar)
  • 4 oz chilled club soda or sparkling water
  • Pinch of salt
  • Grapefruit wedge, for garnish
  • Lime wheel, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Chill a tall glass, such as a highball or Collins glass.
  2. Combine the grapefruit juice, lime juice, simple syrup, and salt in the chilled glass.
  3. Fill the glass completely with ice.
  4. Stir the mixture gently to combine the ingredients and chill them.
  5. Top the drink with the club soda or sparkling water.
  6. Stir briefly once more, being careful not to flatten the bubbles.
  7. Garnish with a grapefruit wedge and a lime wheel before serving immediately.

Notes

  • For a deeper flavor, use sparkling grapefruit soda instead of club soda, but reduce or omit the simple syrup.
  • If you prefer a salt rim, moisten the rim of the glass with a lime wedge and dip it into fine sea salt before adding ice.
  • To make simple syrup, combine equal parts sugar and water and heat until the sugar dissolves. Cool completely before using.
