Pink Grapefruit and Mint Cooler

Deliciously refreshing, this thirst quenching non-alcoholic cocktail is perfect on a sunny day.

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:
1 bunch fresh mint
Sugar syrup to taste - about ½ cup (This can be purchased or you can make your own by dissolving equal quantities of sugar into hot water.)
Little more than 2 cups squeezed Florida pink grapefruit juice
4 tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 ½ cups soda water

Preparation:
In a large jug, crush the mint leaves lightly and pour over the grapefruit juice. Leave to infuse for half an hour or so. Add the lemon juice and sugar syrup to taste and stir well. Half-fill a long glass with the juice mixture, add plenty of cubed ice, and top up with soda water and a fresh mint sprig.

Serves 6.
