Grapefruit Punch Recipe Tips:

Grapefruit Juice: Use Ruby Red Grapefruit juice for this punch.

Simple Syrup: I made an Orange Simple Syrup for this punch (recipe below). It adds a delicious orange flavour. You can use plain simple syrup instead if you wish.

Leftover Simple Syrup: You will have leftover orange simple syrup, so just store it in a tightly sealed jar in the fridge for another time. You can add it to any cocktails where you might like a bit of orange flavour, or drizzle it over fruit salad, or add it to salad dressing.

Club Soda: You can use regular club soda (soda water), or a flavoured soda water like a grapefruit Italian soda. Yum!

Adding the Club Soda: Add the club soda (soda water) to the punch right before you want to serve it, to retain as much of the fizz as possible.

Ice Cubes: I usually use regular ice cubes, but make sure to add them right before you serve the punch because they dilute the punch. If you don’t want to use regular ice cubes, consider freezing some grapefruit juice in ice cube trays and use those, and that way there will be no dilution of flavour!

Garnishes: Add sliced grapefruits and limes to float in the punch. Pomegranate seeds are pretty too and they add a delicious crunch to this punch!

Alcohol: You can add alcohol to this punch. Here are two ways:

Refer to the above section on “How to Make it a Cocktail” on options for individual servings.
If you want to make a Vodka Party Punch, add 1 L of vodka to the punch bowl.
