Step One Put on your favorite summer song.
Step Two Stir grapefruit juice into granulated sugar until sugar dissolves.
Step Three Prep your serving glass with grapefruit slices. Add ice to keep them in place. Admire this stained-glass effect.
Step Four Add 2 oz. of the sweetened grapefruit juice to your glass. Top with tonic water, leaving 1 inch of space at the top of the glass.
Step Five Do some yoga stretches. Pull your espresso. Slowly pour your coffee over the grapefruit tonic. Roll out into the summer sun. Sip lightly.
Recipe Notes Do not heat the grapefruit juice during syrup preparation, as this drastically changes the flavor profile. We love this recipe using 2024 Summer Lovin’— as an espresso, it exhibits notes of sweet lemonade and grapefruit peel. But you can substitute the espresso with 2 ounces of a concentrated cold brew. This drink is also great with a splash of gin! Our drink recipe was recently featured in NSpire Magazine.
