Make It This Way
Make this drink with sparkling water instead to help curb your cravings from sugary, carbonated drinks. If grapefruits aren’t in season or you’re having a hard time finding them at the store – try swapping it out for another citrus instead such as, oranges, lemons or limes.
Try This
This drink can easily be spruced up and served at brunch, or a cocktail party. Simply freeze whole cranberries and use them as ice cubes, and add a sprig of rosemary – it will compliment the drink nicely, and adds a holiday flare to it.
Yum! Grapefruits are such a great source of vitamin C but they can be very sour so adding them to a refreshing drink like this one with honey is such a great idea! I know that grapefruits cannot be consumed if you are on certain medications which is wild but if you are able to eat them then this is a great way to do it! It looks like it would be the perfect mix of sweet and sour! Yum! Thank for sharing :D
Hello,
Indeed, Grapefruit offers many benefits, vitamin c and antioxidants! When consuming grapefruit, drizzling it with honey is delicious; so this refresher is very tasty and a great way to beat the summer heat!
