Spotlight on ... Grapefruit
We frequently mention on trend clothing and accessories when we talk about what is in fashion but we have been guilty of neglecting to mention food and drink items that have also seen an increase in popularity.
Grapefruit is the often forgotten citrus fruit that has recently seen a surge in popularity, in particular in cocktails for this summer! The sharp and tangy taste of a freshly squeezed grapefruit can always provide a refreshing and thirst quenching beverage in the hottest of climates. This zingy fresh fruit is also the inspiration behind our new summer Grapefruit Popband multipack - with its mix of fleshy pink and bright orange tones.
Here at Popband HQ we are always looking for an excuse to drink gin so with the rise of the grapefruit we are currently enjoying the following delicious and very easy cocktail, courtesy of Red Magazine.
Ingredients - Serves 1
- 50 ml Gin
- Premium Tonic
- Slice of Pink Grapefruit
- 2 fresh Basil leaves
Method: Fill a large balloon glass or hi ball with ice. Pour Gin over the ice. Top up with tonic. Garnish with the pink grapefruit and basil leaves.
