Ingredients:

• 2 large grapefruits, juiced (about 1 cup of juice)
• 2 cups cold sparkling water
• 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
• Fresh mint leaves for garnish
• Ice cubes
• Sliced grapefruits for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Begin by juicing the grapefruits. Pour the fresh grapefruit juice into a large pitcher. Enjoy the tangy aroma of the freshly squeezed juice as it fills the air.
2. Add honey or maple syrup to the grapefruit juice and stir well until fully dissolved to create a sweet, tangy base.
3. Gently pour in the cold sparkling water. Stir slowly to combine, being careful to preserve those delightful bubbles.
4. Fill each glass with ice cubes and pour the sparkling grapefruit mixture over the ice, allowing it to chill further.
5. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a slice of grapefruit on the rim for a dazzling presentation.

Helpful Tips and Variations:

• If grapefruits are out of season, substitute with a high-quality grapefruit juice from the store.
• For a natural sweetener, replace honey with agave nectar or pomegranate juice.
• Serve in a chilled glass for an extra refreshing experience.

Storage and Substitutions:

• Refrigerate the grapefruit juice and syrup base in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
• If you prefer a less sweet mocktail, reduce the amount of honey or syrup according to taste.

Pairings and Complements:

• Enjoy this mocktail with light snacks like cucumber sandwiches or a fresh fruit platter.
• It pairs wonderfully with citrus-based desserts like lemon bars or key lime pie.
