Grapefruit mocktails are a great pick when you want a drink that tastes fresh, bright, and not too sweet. Grapefruit has a clean, slightly bitter bite that pairs well with sparkling water, citrus juice, honey, or simple syrup. You can keep it simple with grapefruit juice and soda, or add extras like rosemary, mint, or a splash of cranberry for color. These drinks work well for brunch, baby showers, weeknight dinners, or any get-together where you want something alcohol-free that still feels special. Serve over ice with a grapefruit slice, and you’re set.
