    Notes

    Here are some extra tips to get the best out of your mocktail:
    Choose fresh grapefruit juice for the best flavor. Store-bought juice works, but freshly squeezed is amazing.
    Experiment: Try adding a splash of lime juice for extra zing.
    Adjust the amount of honey to suit your taste. Some people prefer a sweeter blend.
    Presentation counts: A well-garnished drink always feels more special.
