Ingredients
  • 2 medium Ruby Red Grapefruit
  • 1 large Orange
  • 1/2 inch Fresh Ginger
  • 2-3 optional Mint Leaves
  • as needed Ice Cubes

Prepare the Ingredients

Begin by washing the grapefruit, orange, and ginger thoroughly. Peel the orange, removing as much of the white pith as possible to avoid bitterness. Cut the grapefruit in half.

Extract the Juice

Using a citrus juicer, extract the juice from the grapefruit and orange. If you don't have a juicer, you can squeeze them by hand. Ensure you collect all the juice.

Ginger Preparation

Peel the ginger and grate it finely or chop it into very small pieces. You can also use a ginger press if you have one to extract the juice.

Combine and Mix

In a glass, combine the grapefruit juice and orange juice. Add the grated ginger or ginger juice. Stir well to ensure the ginger is evenly distributed.

Serve

Add ice cubes to the glass. Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing taste of the Ruby Red Grapefruit Sunrise Juice.

FAQ

  • Can I use store-bought grapefruit juice?

    While fresh juice is always preferable for its taste and nutrients, you can use store-bought 100% grapefruit juice in a pinch. However, the taste may not be as vibrant.
  • Can I add sugar or honey to this juice?

    Grapefruit can be quite tart, so if you prefer a sweeter juice, you can add a small amount of honey or agave nectar to taste. Add it gradually and stir well to dissolve.
  • How long can I store this juice?

    It's best to consume this juice immediately for optimal flavor and nutritional value. If you must store it, keep it refrigerated in an airtight container for no more than 24 hours.
