Notes

The simple syrup can be made up to 1 week ahead and stored in the fridge.
This recipe serves 8-10 people. Double the ingredients for larger gatherings.
For best flavor, use freshly squeezed grapefruit juice rather than bottled juice.
Add extra sparkling water for a lighter drink, or reduce it for stronger grapefruit flavor.
Keep punch cold by making an ice ring with grapefruit slices frozen in water.
