Although I love a good easy cocktail recipe, there's a case to be made for having a couple mocktails on hand, too! This orange grapefruit mocktail is a refreshing drink to make for yourself, your kiddos, or guests when they prefer non alcoholic options.
Believe me, you’ll want this refreshing drink in your arsenal. This grapefruit mocktail is made with real fruit juice so it's on the healthier side while being delicious!
I recently served this recipe at a family dinner party and it was a hit with both the adults and children.

Tips For This Grapefruit Mocktail Recipe
Here are a few recipe tips for you (you can read and print the entire recipe below):
- Squeeze all the juice ahead of time so making this drink doesn't take too much time (or make a mess). Just store the juices in glass containers in the refrigerator until you're ready to use them

- You can freeze the raspberries and use them as garnishes that double at keeping your mocktail cold on a hot day
Questions About This Mocktail Recipe
If you don't want to hassle with juicing the oranges and grapefruit yourself, you can purchase juice already made. However, this will make your mocktail sweeter so be sure to omit the sugar in this recipe below.
If you prefer your drink to have alcohol, simply add 1.5 ounces of vodka to this drink. It will taste like a twist on a screwdriver cocktail.

I love the idea of mocktails in the summertime, and your merchandising of this drink is beautiful. My favorite flavor combination recently has been muddled cucumber and fresh lime juice, with the addition of club soda and truvia simple syrup.
