    Who doesn’t love a good mocktail? These Grapefruit Mocktails are super easy to make and SO delicious! I love the tart yet sweet grapefruit combined with the spicy jalapeno. These homemade drinks make for a great summer treat. You can make this drink fresh or prep it in advance which makes it a great option for when you have company!

    Recipe Ingredients

    • Grapefruit- Make sure you roll the grapefruit beforehand to get the juices flowing. Grapefruits are the most perfect combination of sweet and atrt, A ripe grapefruit will be slightly red in color. The deeper the color, the more intense their flavor. It should also be plump. Make sure you do not mistake an orange for a grapefruit, I have done that before, ha! Oranges are slightly smaller than grapefruits. 
    • Fresh Jalapeno– Sliced jalapenos are used as a garnish. However, the natural flavor will absorb into the beverage and provide a mild kick. This goes so well with the grapefruit, I promise! 
    • Club soda (optional)– This is your mixer of choice. You can use sparkling water, club soda, anything that you like. I also love it with pellegrino. 
    • Optional-cocktail option:
      • Silver tequila or vodka.

    Recipe FAQ’s

    • What Can I Serve With This? 

      • I would recommend some appetizers! For example, Vegan Taco Dip or Air Fryer Potato Skins. 
    • How Do I Turn This Mocktail Into A Cocktail?

      • Super easy. First, decide what alcohol you want to use. Then, pour a shot of choice liquor into a cocktail glass. Fill with ice and your freshly squeezed grapefruit juice. Garnish with fresh jalapeno slices. I suggest starting out with 1 shot.
    • How Can I Turn This Into A Paloma?

      • Absolutely! All you need to do is juice one lime and add a splash of simple syrup. I love using my homemade Honey Simple Syrup on my blog. 
    • What Is a Paloma?

      • Palomas are typically made from grapefruit flavored soda with lime juice and simple syrup. This recipe offers a healthier alternative! 
    • Can I Add Sweetener?

      • Absolutely! I prefer using a refined sugar free sweetener if I choose that route. My homemade Honey Simple Syrup is the best!

    Chef’s Tips

    • I recommend placing a strainer in the bowl, when juicing the lemons. This will catch any seeds or lingering pulp that falls.
