Ingredients

• 4 large grapefruits, juiced
• 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
• 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (optional)
• 1 cup cold water
• Ice cubes
• Mint sprigs for garnish

Instructions

1. Begin by juicing the grapefruits. Pour the fresh grapefruit juice into a large pitcher, allowing the tangy aroma to fill the room.
2. Gently bruise the mint leaves using a mortar and pestle or the back of a spoon to release their natural oils. Add them to the grapefruit juice.
3. If you prefer a sweeter drink, stir in the honey or agave syrup until fully dissolved. Adjust the sweetness to your liking.
4. Add the cold water to the mixture and stir well to combine. For an extra chill, you can use refrigerated water or add more ice cubes.
5. Fill serving glasses with ice cubes and pour the grapefruit mint juice over the top. The coolness of the ice will harmonize with the zest and mint for a refreshing experience.
6. Garnish each glass with a sprig of mint and serve immediately. Enjoy the invigorating drink with your loved ones!

Helpful Tips and Variations

• If grapefruits are out of season, try using oranges or a mix of citrus fruits for a similar yet distinct flavor profile.
• For a sparkling version, replace cold water with club soda or sparkling water.
• Serve in a chilled glass for an extra refreshing touch, especially on hot days.

Storage and Substitutions

• Refrigerate the prepared juice in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Stir well before serving.
• Substitute honey with agave syrup for a vegan option.
• Use dried mint leaves if fresh mint is not available; just remember to strain them out before serving.

Pairings and Complements

This Grapefruit Mint Juice pairs wonderfully with light snacks and desserts. Serve it alongside:

• Crispy vegetable spring rolls
• A fresh fruit salad
• Yogurt parfait with granola and honey

The zestiness of the grapefruit and the cool mint will complement these dishes perfectly.
