Follow The Directions

01

Step
3 mins

In a medium bowl, gently combine the grapefruit segments, reserved grapefruit juice, and sugar. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. (Approximately 2-3 minutes)

02

Step
1 mins

Carefully divide the grapefruit mixture evenly among 8 serving cups or glasses.

03

Step
1 mins

Top each serving with approximately 1 teaspoon of gin, distributing it evenly. (Approximately 1 minute)

04

Step
1 mins

Sprinkle the minced mint leaves over the top of each cup, ensuring an even distribution. (Approximately 1 minute)

05

Step
10 mins

Garnish each cup with a whole mint leaf for an elegant finishing touch. (Approximately 1 minute)

06

Step

Serve immediately or chill for later. (Approximately 10 minutes)

For a non-alcoholic version, replace the gin with a splash of tonic water or sparkling water.
Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar to your liking, depending on the sweetness of the grapefruit.
If you can't find refrigerated grapefruit segments, you can use fresh grapefruit. Segment the grapefruit carefully, removing all membranes.
Other herbs such as basil or rosemary can be used in place of mint for a unique flavor profile.
This salad is best served chilled. Prepare it ahead of time and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
