Recipe FAQ’s
If you want it sweet, then yes. Grapefruits are very tart, which is why most people eat them sprinkled with sugar! While I enjoy them plain without sugar, I still like the sugar in the juice form. But, you can reduce the sugar as much as you like to get the desired flavor. I’d start by halving it and see what you think.
This will stay fresh in the fridge for up to a week.
Use for mocktails or cocktails as a mixer. Try this recipe for a Paloma, Greyhound, or Grapefruit Lassi. Use to make homemade popsicles by pouring into molds. You can use to make a glaze for cookies or brownies by mixing powdered sugar and pink grapefruit juice. You can also use to make homemade salad dressing for a naturally sweetened dressing.
