Recipe ingredients
- 1 cup (250 mL) sugar*
- 2 cups (500 mL) water
- 2 1/2 cups (625 mL) freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 14 lemons)
- 2 cups (500 mL) freshly squeezed Rio Star grapefruit juice (about 3 large grapefruit)
- 1 grapefruit, halved and cut into thin slices for garnish
Preparation
In a large bowl, prepare an ice bath.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and water.
Stir well and set over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until all of the sugar has dissolved, about 10 minutes.
Pour the sugar syrup into a medium bowl and set the bowl in the ice bath to cool. Syrup should yield 2½ cups (675 mL).
When ready to serve the beverage, combine the lemon juice, grapefruit juice and sugar syrup in a medium pitcher.
Add the grapefruit garnish and fill the pitcher with ice cubes.
Serve immediately.
