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.
