Tips:

  • Choose ripe and juicy grapefruits: The quality of your grapefruits will greatly impact the flavor of your cooler. Look for grapefruits that are heavy for their size, have a smooth, unblemished rind, and yield to gentle pressure.
  • Chill your ingredients: Chilling your grapefruit juice, soda water, and ice cubes beforehand will help ensure that your cooler is refreshingly cold and flavorful.
  • Use fresh mint or lime wedges: These garnishes add a pop of color and freshness to your cooler. You can also experiment with other garnishes such as cucumber slices, rosemary sprigs, or even edible flowers.
  • Adjust the sweetness to your liking: If you prefer a sweeter cooler, you can add more sugar or honey. You can also use a flavored soda water, such as lemon-lime or grapefruit, for a more intense flavor.
