Grapefruit Mojito




(Serves 2)

Ingredients
1/2 cup of freshly squeezed grapefruit juice
1/4 grapefruit (peeled and cut into small pieces)
1/4 cup of fresh mint leaves
4 tablespoons honey
Ice & Club Soda (Carbonated Water)

Directions
1. Add the pieces of grapefruit and mint leaves to the shaker. Use a muddler to break down the leaves and mash the grapefruit in order to release their flavours.
2. Combine the freshly squeezed grapefruit juice and honey together in the shaker. Stir to ensure that the honey is entirely dissolved.
3. Add ice to the shaker and secure. Shake vigorously to ensure that all ingredients and flavours are well combined.
4. Pour into glasses, and top off with a splash of club soda.

Garnish with fresh mint leaves or grapefruit peel or grapefruit slice.


Optional:

  • Although this is a mocktail, it can also be a great cocktail by simply adding gin or vodka to the recipe. The measurement of alcohol added to the drink will all depend on the individuals' personal preference.  
  • The club soda can also be substituted with ginger ale for an amazing burst of flavour and taste.
