Grapefruit and Elderflower Mocktail | Recipe

We don't mind a little buzz now and then. But drinking alcohol regularly? No thanks. Our health is too sacred for that. Thankfully, the days when you were practically forced to drink in social settings are over once and for all. Non-alcoholic drinks and mocktails are becoming increasingly socially acceptable. And tastier!

This magical Grapefruit Elderflower Mocktail, for example, should definitely be added to your spring bar list. The blend of tart grapefruit, sour lime, and floral-sweet elderflower clears the brain, invigorates the cells, and puts a pink-cloud smile on your lips, even without alcohol.

This is what you need:

• 1 organic grapefruit

• 20 ml elderflower syrup

• 1 tsp lime juice

• 80 ml carbonated mineral water

• ice cubes

• Fresh mint and grapefruit wedge

It's that easy:

1. Wash the grapefruit in hot water and cut it in half. Set aside a slice of fruit for later as a garnish. Squeeze about 40 ml of grapefruit juice from the remaining grapefruit.

2. Mix grapefruit juice, elderflower syrup and lime juice

3. Place ice cubes in a glass and add the mixture. Top with sparkling mineral water.

4. Decorate with mint leaves and grapefruit wedge to taste.
