Cooking & Storage Tips

• The sweetness of grapefruit varies by variety — some are sweeter, others more tart. Adjust the sugar and honey to your taste. For a lighter option, reduce the sugar.
• Scooping out grapefruit pulp may take extra effort, but it adds both texture and flavor, making the drink more enjoyable.
• If you don’t want to prepare fresh pulp every time, you can pre-segment the grapefruit and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day. This makes assembly faster when serving guests.
