2 large grapefruits, peeled and segmented
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, packed
1/4 cup water
1-2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste) Shop
1 cup ice cubes

Instructions

1 Prepare the grapefruits by peeling them completely, removing any pith, and separating them into segments. Ensure the mint leaves are fresh and vibrant. Add the grapefruit segments, packed fresh mint leaves, and water to the pitcher of a high-speed blender.
2 Secure the lid on the blender and begin blending on a low speed, gradually increasing to high. Process for about 1 to 2 minutes, or until the mixture is completely smooth and has a vibrant, uniform color. You should see no large pieces of grapefruit or mint remaining.
3 Taste the juice to assess its sweetness. If you prefer a sweeter beverage, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup, and blend again for another 15-30 seconds until fully incorporated. The juice should have a pleasant balance of tartness and sweetness.
4 Add the ice cubes to the blender. Blend on high speed for an additional 30-60 seconds, or until the ice is fully crushed and the juice is chilled to your desired frosty consistency. The mixture will become thicker and more opaque.
5 Pour the chilled grapefruit mint juice into two glasses. Serve immediately to enjoy its peak freshness and invigorating flavors. Garnish with a fresh mint sprig if desired.

Tips & Notes

Trim the membranes and white pith from the grapefruit segments before blending, or the juice turns bitter.
Strain the juice through a sieve if you prefer it without pulp.
Pink or red grapefruit is sweeter than white, so you may not need the honey.
