Ingredients
- 200 grams Fresh strawberries
- 2 large Pink grapefruit
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 500 ml Sparkling water
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 6 whole Mint leaves
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 50 ml Water
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the fresh strawberries under cold water, remove the stems, and slice them in half.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, combine the sliced strawberries, honey, granulated sugar, and 50 ml of water. Heat the mixture over medium heat until the strawberries are softened and the sugar is dissolved, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
Step 3
Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the strawberry syrup into a bowl, gently pressing the strawberries to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids and set the syrup aside.
Step 4
Juice the pink grapefruits using a citrus juicer, discarding the seeds and pulp. You should have approximately 300-350 ml of fresh grapefruit juice.
Step 5
In a large pitcher, combine the fresh grapefruit juice, strawberry syrup, and sparkling water. Stir gently to combine.
Step 6
Fill four glasses with ice cubes and pour the Strawberry Grapefruit Cooler over the ice.
Step 7
Garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves and serve immediately. Enjoy your refreshing drink!
