Yield Makes about 20 ounces

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups sugar
Zest of 2 pink grapefruits
Juice of 1 pink grapefruit
2 teaspoons lemon juice
Pinch of salt
Ice cubes, for serving
Seltzer water, for serving

Steps:

  • Place sugar, grapefruit zest and juice, lemon juice, and salt in a medium saucepan along with 2 cups water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove from heat and let steep for 1 hour. Strain and discard solids. Transfer syrup to an airtight container and keep refrigerated until ready to use, up to 2 weeks. To serve, fill a 16-ounce glass with ice cubes and add 1 1/2 ounces syrup; top with seltzer and stir to combine.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and juicy grapefruits: The quality of your grapefruit soda syrup will depend on the quality of your grapefruits. Make sure to select ripe and juicy grapefruits that are free of blemishes.
  • Use a sharp knife to zest the grapefruits: A sharp knife will help you to get a clean and even zest. Avoid using a grater, as this can produce a bitter zest.
  • Don't boil the syrup for too long: Boiling the syrup for too long can cause it to become thick and syrupy. Aim for a light, refreshing syrup that is still pourable.
  • Let the syrup cool completely before using it: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Store the syrup in a sealed container in the refrigerator: The grapefruit soda syrup will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Grapefruit soda syrup is a delicious and refreshing way to enjoy the taste of grapefruit. It can be used to make grapefruit soda, cocktails, or other beverages. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make your own grapefruit soda syrup at home.
