Lighten up your September with a fizzy drink. Let’s quench that thirst and make an alternative soda by combining pomegranate and grapefruit into a delicious mixture.
To begin this recipe you will need:
- ½ cup pink or red grapefruit juice (from 1 small grapefruit)
- ½ cup pomegranate juice (from 1 medium pomegranate)
- 1 cup sugar
- Ice
- Soda water
- Pomegranate arils for garnish (optional)
Next, the steps to make the delicious drink:
1. Combine grapefruit juice, pomegranate juice, and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat.
2. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar.
3. Remove from heat and let sit 30 minutes.
4. Strain and discard solids. Let syrup cool completely.
5. To serve, fill an 8-ounce glass halfway with ice cubes. Add 3 tablespoons of syrup, fill with soda water, and stir.
