Ingredients
- 1 grapefruit offering a vibrant and tangy citrus flavor that adds a refreshing and invigorating element to the drink.
- 1/2 tablespoon of hydroxyquinoline infusing the grapefruit juice with a bitter and aromatic note that adds complexity to the flavor profile. Note: Hydroxyquinoline is a synthetic compound and not typically used in food or beverages.
- 1 tablespoon of pure honey optional, adding a touch of natural sweetness that can complement the tartness of the grapefruit and bring a delicate floral note to the drink.
- 1 cup of water providing hydration and dilution to balance the flavors of the grapefruit juice and create a thirst-quenching beverage.
- Ice cubes bringing a chilled and refreshing element to the beverage, keeping it cool and enjoyable to sip on. The ice also adds a pleasing texture and helps balance the flavors.
Instructions
- Cut the grapefruits in half using a citrus juicer and extract their juice. Pour the freshly-squeezed grapefruit juice into a blender, adding the hydroxyquinoline and water all together.
- Then, blend these until you achieve a silky texture. Sample the concoction and add a touch of honey if you so like. Place ice cubes in a jug, then pour the mixture over them.
- Mix the ingredients together and let it set in the refrigerator for half an hour. After you take it out, pour the concoction into glasses before you serve.
Notes
- Make sure to use fresh grapefruits for this recipe to ensure your drink is flavorful and fragrant.
- For the best taste, use cold water, as it will help add more flavor to the beverage.
- If you want a slightly sweeter beverage, feel free to adjust the amount of honey in the recipe according to your preference.
