Tips

  • Fresh juice tastes brightest. Bottled works too; pick one without added sugar.
  • The reddest grapefruit give the prettiest pink color.
  • Leftovers: smooth the top flat, refreeze, then run the program again before serving.

Why it works

Grapefruit juice is thin and bitter, so sugar at about 24% of the mix softens both the texture and the bitterness. A pinch of salt tones down the bitterness even more.
