Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fresh ruby red grapefruit juice from about 3-4 large grapefruits
  • 1/2 cup simple syrup adjust to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Optional: 1–2 tablespoons Campari or prosecco

Instructions
 

  • Juice your fruit: Squeeze those grapefruits until you hit 2 cups. Strain out any pulp or seeds.
  • Mix: In a bowl or measuring cup, stir together the grapefruit juice, simple syrup, lemon juice, and Campari or prosecco if using.
  • Freeze: Pour into a shallow baking dish and place in the freezer.
  • Scrape: Every 30–45 minutes, use a fork to scrape and fluff the mixture into icy crystals. Repeat 3–4 times until fully frozen and fluffy.
  • Serve: Spoon into chilled glasses and garnish with mint or citrus zest if you’re feeling fancy!

Notes

  • Simple syrup = equal parts sugar and water heated until dissolved, then cooled.
  • Campari adds bitterness; prosecco adds sparkle. Either is optional but lovely.
