Ingredients:
- 2 large Grapefruits (or a large pomelo)
- 1 large Orange
- 1 medium Lemon (or 1-2 limes)
- 1-2 teaspoons Ginger Paste (adjust to taste)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Prep Your Citrus Fruits:
Start by preparing the grapefruits, orange, and lemon for your preferred juicing method. For Electric Juicer: Peel and Slice. This will make juicing easier and help you extract maximum juice. Hand Juicer: roll and gently press the citrus on the counter to help release the juices, then cut into halves. - Juicing Process:
- Use a hand citrus juicer to juice your grapefruits, placing half cut side down and twisting until all the juice is extracted. Repeat until all grapefruits are juiced. Or use an electric Juicer.
- *If you don’t have a hand or electric juicer, simply cut into slices and press into the wedge with your thumb over a glass. Sliding your thumb across the center will release the juice.
- Next, juice the orange, following the same method.
- Finally, juice the lemon or lime for a refreshing zing!
- Mix in Ginger Paste:
Combine all the freshly squeezed juices in a pitcher or mixing bowl. Stir in 1-2 teaspoons of ginger paste, adjusting based on your taste preferences. Mix thoroughly to incorporate the ginger. - Serve and Enjoy:
Pour your vibrant juice into glasses. Add ice if desired for a refreshing chill. Garnish with a slice of grapefruit, lemon/lime or orange for an extra touch!
Pro Tips for Perfect Citrus Juice:
- Experiment with Flavors: Try adding mint leaves, cucumber, lavender, or coconut water for a tropical twist!
- Chill Your Ingredients: For an extra refreshing drink, chill your fruits before juicing.
- Mocktails are SO in right now! More and more people at gatherings want to drink something fun, but with health benefits:
- Try This: Make it a nice non-alcoholic spritzer with the addition of seltzer water and/or a teaspoon of champagne vinegar.
- Jazz up the end of the glasses with salt or sugar and sliced fresh fruit for a wow factor.
