Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ounces (120 ml) pink grapefruit juice, freshly squeezed or high-quality bottled
- 4 ounces (120 ml) chilled champagne or sparkling wine (brut or extra brut)
- 1/2 teaspoon simple syrup, honey, or agave syrup (optional)
- Fresh grapefruit slices or twist for garnish
- Ice (optional)
Instructions
- Chill your champagne and grapefruit juice in the refrigerator for at least one hour before mixing.
- Cut 1 large pink grapefruit in half and use a citrus juicer or your hands to extract about 4 ounces (120 ml) of juice. Strain if you prefer pulp-free juice.
- Prepare your champagne flute. Optionally, add 1/2 teaspoon of simple syrup or honey to the bottom of the glass for sweetness.
- Pour the grapefruit juice gently into the flute, filling about halfway (4 ounces or 120 ml).
- Tilt the flute slightly and slowly pour the chilled champagne (4 ounces or 120 ml) to fill the glass, preserving bubbles.
- Optionally, gently stir with a spoon or stirrer to combine without losing fizz.
- Garnish with a thin slice or twist of fresh pink grapefruit on the rim of the glass.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the full sparkle and bright flavors.
Notes
Use freshly squeezed pink grapefruit juice for the best flavor, but high-quality bottled juice works well. Adjust sweetness with simple syrup, honey, or agave to taste. Pour champagne slowly while tilting the glass to preserve bubbles and prevent overflow. Serve immediately for best fizz. Leftover juice and sweetener mixture can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours; add champagne just before serving.
