Ingredients

• 2 cups seedless red or green grapes
• 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 2-3 lemons)
• 1/4 cup honey or simple syrup
• 3 cups cold water
• Ice cubes
• Lemon slices and fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Start by thoroughly washing the grapes under cold running water. This step is essential to ensure they are clean and free from any residues.
2. In a blender, combine the washed grapes, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and honey or simple syrup. Blend until smooth, ensuring the grapes are completely pureed.
3. Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the grape mixture into a large pitcher. Press down gently with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible, leaving the pulp behind. The resulting liquid should be smooth and vibrant.
4. Add the cold water to the pitcher and stir well to combine. Taste and adjust the sweetness or tartness by adding more honey or lemon juice, if desired.
5. To serve, fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the grape lemon juice over the ice. Garnish with lemon slices and fresh mint leaves for a touch of elegance and extra freshness.

Helpful Tips and Variations

• If you’re out of honey, agave syrup or maple syrup can be wonderful alternatives to sweeten your drink naturally.
• For a fun twist, try using sparkling water instead of still water to add a refreshing fizz to your juice.
• Serving in chilled glassware heightens the refreshing experience, especially on a hot summer day.

Storage and Substitutions

If you have any leftovers, refrigerate the juice in an airtight container for up to two days. Before serving again, give it a good stir.

If fresh grapes aren’t available, you can substitute with a natural, no-sugar-added grape juice. Adjust the amount of added water accordingly.

Pairings and Complements

• This grape lemon juice pairs beautifully with light snacks like cheese and crackers, or a fresh vegetable platter.
• For a dessert pairing, consider serving alongside lemon cookies or a fresh fruit tart.
