Recipe Notes
Do not heat the grapefruit juice during syrup preparation, as this drastically changes the flavor profile. We love this recipe using 2024 Summer Lovin’— as an espresso, it exhibits notes of sweet lemonade and grapefruit peel. But you can substitute the espresso with 2 ounces of a concentrated cold brew. This drink is also great with a splash of gin! Our drink recipe was recently featured in NSpire Magazine.
