Ruby Red Grapefruit Sunrise Juice
Start your day with this vibrant and refreshing Ruby Red Grapefruit Sunrise Juice. The combination of grapefruit's tartness, orange's sweetness, and a hint of ginger creates a balanced and invigorating drink, perfect for a healthy breakfast or brunch.
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.
