About this recipe
Grapefruit lemonade is a citrus drink made with grapefruit, lemon, honey, water, and ice. Grapefruit contributes a tart, slightly bitter flavor, lemon adds freshness, and honey balances the sharper citrus notes. Avoid squeezing the grapefruit's white membranes, which can add too much bitterness. This lemonade suits anyone who prefers a more tart, less overtly sweet drink.
Ingredients
1 grapefruit
1 lemon
1 liter water
2 tablespoons honey
ice cubes
Steps
Halve and juice the grapefruit and lemon, then remove the seeds. If the grapefruit has a lot of white membrane, avoid squeezing it too hard so the drink does not become bitter.
Stir the honey into some of the water, then add the grapefruit and lemon juices. Mix thoroughly to balance the strong citrus acidity.
Pour in the remaining water, add the ice cubes, and stir once more. The lemonade should taste distinctly citrusy without being weighed down by bitterness.
Before serving, check that the honey has completely dissolved and none remains on the bottom. Pour the lemonade once well chilled with ice. Grapefruit retains its natural bitterness; simply leaving the finished drink to stand for a few minutes does not remove it.
