Ingredients

  • 12 oz IPA with grapefruit notes more if needed
  • 12 oz grapefruit soda more if needed
  • fresh grapefruit slices for garnish
  • fresh mint for garnish

Instructions

  • Make sure the IPA and the grapefruit soda are nicely chilled.
  • Place a slice of grapefruit in each tall glass, preferably wedging it to follow the curvature of the glass bottom to prevent it from floating to the top.
  • First pour the IPA. Fill ½ to ¾ of the glass with IPA, depending on your preference for sweetness (grapefruit sodas tend to be very sweet).
  • Fill the rest of each glass with grapefruit soda.
  • Garnish with fresh mint and drop an ice cube or two for sparkle.
