Notes
I like to use fresh** pink grapefruit juice** for the best flavor.
If you prefer something sweeter, adjust the amount of simple syrup.
If you're making these for a party, you can prepare the juice mix ahead of time. Just add the soda water and ice when you're ready to serve. ๐
Double-check that your glasses are chilled to keep the drink nice and refreshing!
