Love ginger. Love grapefruit. Love limes.

Therefore, it was likely that this recipe would be a keeper in my book. I don’t have a book, but if I did… well, you get the point.

It was only moments after seeing this recipe on 101 Cookbooks that I was quickly jotting down the ingredients and running to the store. It was love at first sip and to be honest was lucky I didn’t consume the entire batch in that moment. I was a good wife and saved a few drops for my husband. If only we could get this on tap, now that would be awesome. Thank goodness grapefruits are in season (& inexpensive) right now because I will be making a big batch of this, a-sap.

This juice is incredibly refreshing and the ginger gives it a nice kick. Makes me feel healthy. I say play around with the ingredients, make it strong (ginger) or sweet depending on how you like it, serve chilled and enjoy! Cheers!

Ginger, Grapefruit & Lime Juice Recipe

{Recipe adapted from 101 Cookbooks}

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 tablespoons Truvia or Stevia (zero calorie sweeteners) – or use regular sugar
• 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, peeled then grated
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup fresh lime juice – about 3 limes
• 1 1/2 cups fresh grapefruit juice – 4 grapefruits

Directions

In a small saucepan, on medium heat, mix together sugar, ginger, and water. Simmer for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a glass cup or bowl – place in the fridge or freezer to cool.

In a pitcher, combine grapefruit and lime juices. Remove the ginger mixture from the fridge/freezer and strain into the grapefruit juices. If you don’t want pulp, you can strain the grapefruit juices. I like the pulp. Stir the ingredients and taste. Feel free to add more sugar or juices. I like it strong and ginergy so this was perfect for me. Serve chilled with ice or add sparkling water to give it some bubbles.

Makes about 2 cups of juice.
