Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Slice the 1 large grapefruit into thin rounds, then cut 2 of the slices in half for garnish. Squeeze the juice from the remaining slices into a small bowl, about 1/4 cup.

  2. Step 2

    Fill two tall glasses with the 1 cup ice cubes. Divide the grapefruit juice evenly between the glasses, about 2 tbsp each.

  3. Step 3

    Add 1 tbsp simple syrup to each glass and stir briefly to combine with the juice.

  4. Step 4

    Pour 1 cup club soda into each glass, filling almost to the top. Stir gently once to mix.

  5. Step 5

    Garnish each glass with a grapefruit slice or two. Serve immediately while bubbly and cold.
