Grapefruit Citrus cubes

Bright, zesty, and ready in 5 minutes

These grapefruit citrus cubes bring instant brightness to your water, cocktails, or morning drinks. The grapefruit adds a perfect balance of sweet and tart, with a refreshing citrus kick.

What you need

• 1 pink or red grapefruit
• 1 orange (optional for extra sweetness)
• 1/2 cup water
• Optional: a touch of honey if too tart

How to make it

1. Peel the grapefruit and remove seeds
2. Peel the orange if using
3. Roughly chop the citrus fruits
4. Blend grapefruit, orange (if using), and water until smooth
5. Taste and add honey if needed
6. Pour into ice cube trays
7. Freeze for at least 4 hours

Why this works

No cooking, minimal ingredients. The grapefruit is naturally vibrant and the flavor is clean and bright. Drop a cube into sparkling water for instant citrus refreshment, or add to gin and tonic for a sophisticated twist.

Practical tip: Use pink or red grapefruit for the best color and slightly sweeter flavor. If your grapefruit is very tart, add a small amount of honey or blend with orange to balance it out. These cubes are perfect for morning water or evening cocktails.
