Notes
- Grapefruit soda: I like to use Fever-Tree Sparkling Pink Grapefruit for a more sophisticated flavor with smaller bubbles. For a more lighthearted flavor, Squirt, Fresca, or Jarritos are great options, with sweeter flavor and bigger bubbles.
- If you prefer a sweeter drink, add a splash of simple syrup.
