Posted on: May 29, 2023

But how about going even further, and turning what’s good into something even better? Metro has some flavorsome lemonade recipes that’ll have your family salivating for more!

We are already trying to make life a little more easier!

Grapefruit Lemonade
The blend of sour grapefruit and tart lemons gives a citrusy boost to your day.
Zesty Tip #2: Add a sprig of rosemary to not only garnish your zesty drink, but it also decreases inflammation and is a good source of antioxidants.
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup (250 mL) sugar
2 cups (500 mL) water
2 ½ cups (625 mL) freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 14 lemons)
2 cups (500 mL) freshly squeezed grapefruit juice (about 3 large grapefruit)
1 grapefruit, halved and cut into thin slices for garnish
PREPARATION:
In a large bowl, prepare an ice bath.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and water.
Stir well and set over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until all of the sugar has dissolved, about 10 minutes.
Pour the sugar syrup into a medium bowl and set the bowl in the ice bath to cool. Syrup should yield 2½ cups (675 mL).
When ready to serve the beverage, combine the lemon juice, grapefruit juice and sugar syrup in a medium pitcher.
Add the grapefruit garnish and fill the pitcher with ice cubes.
Serve immediately.
