Blogwatch: Grapefruit Soda
Making an adult soda is an easy way to add some zing to any fruit juice you may have on hand. My definition of adult soda is a drink consisting of sparkling water mixed with a fruit juice. A good general rule is to use a 1:1 ratio of juice to water, but this varies depending on how sweet the juice is. I certainly didn't invent this concoction, but I started making it because drinking sparkling water by itself hurts my mouth. The bubbles, people! They're lethal. Emily of Just Eat Food makes a refreshing grapefruit soda with some fresh orange and grapefruit. A good way to get your citrus on. Just between you and me, I also think adding a dose of bubbles makes any drink more fun to drink. I bet a dash of the real bubbly wouldn't hurt either.
