Spicy Grapefruit Ginger Fizz

I am kicking off my first (of hopefully many) mocktail recipes on the blog! I’ve received so much positive feedback regarding sharing some fun non-alcoholic drink ideas, and I hope you enjoy these as much as I do.

Today’s recipe was inspired by Gimme Some Oven’s Spicy Grapefruit Ginger Fizz Mocktail, with a few added twists to it. It is full of deliciously bold, spicy, fresh flavors, minimally sweet, and easy to create in under five minutes. Of course, you can add your preferred alcohol of choice to it, but it’s so full of flavor I don’t think you’ll even miss it! I could also see this being fairly easy to make a big batch of!

 
 

What you’ll need

  • 1/2 cup (4 ounces) of grapefruit juice (fresh or store-bought, I used Trader Joe’s)

  • 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice

  • 1 sprig of fresh mint

  • 1 to 3 slices fresh jalapeño (to taste)

  • 1 cup of ice

  • 1/2 cup (4 ounces) of ginger beer

  • grapefruit slices for garnish (all I had was blood orange)

  • cocktail shaker & muddler

  • copper mug (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Muddle the lime and jalapeño
Add the grapefruit juice, lime juice, mint, and jalapeño slices to a cocktail shaker. Use a muddler or a wooden spoon to muddle the mint and jalapeño into the juices gently.

Step 2: Combine
Add the ice to a copper mug or large cocktail glass.  Strain the grapefruit juice mixture over the ice.  Top with the ginger beer and briefly stir to combine.

Step 3: Garnish & Enjoy
Garnish the drink with an extra citrus slice, jalapeño, and/or a sprig of fresh mint, and enjoy! Cheers!
