Base Soda

Method

Prepare Glass & Garnish

1

Chill glass

Place a highball or Collins glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare the ingredients so the final drink stays cold.

2

Cut a thin wheel or twist from the grapefruit for garnish. Set aside in the refrigerator so it stays cold and firm.

Mix Soda

3

Fill the chilled glass with fresh ice cubes until nearly full (about 1 cup).

4

Pour in 0.25 cups (about 60 ml) of fresh pink grapefruit juice over the ice.

5

Add 0.5 tablespoon simple syrup and 0.5 teaspoon fresh lime juice to the glass. These balance acidity and mimic the gentle sweetness of Fever-Tree grapefruit soda.

6

If using grapefruit bitters, add 2 dashes now.

7

Top carefully with 1 cup (about 240 ml) of Fever-Tree Indian Tonic or a neutral sparkling water. Pour slowly over the back of a spoon or down the side of the glass to preserve carbonation and create a gentle layering effect. Stir once gently with a bar spoon (1–2 slow turns) to integrate.

Finish & Serve

8

Garnish by placing the grapefruit wheel on the rim or floating it on top. Add a mint sprig if using, gently slapping it between your palms first to release the aroma.

9

Serve immediately while cold and fizzy.
