Grapefruit soda

Grapefruit soda is a carbonated beverage made from grapefruit juice, combined with carbonated water and sugar or other sweeteners. Its characteristic flavor is refreshing and slightly bitter, making it a popular ingredient for cocktails, marinades, and some culinary preparations that seek a citrus and effervescent touch.

The grapefruit is a citrus fruit native to the Caribbean and Southeast Asia, although today it is cultivated in various regions of the world with temperate and subtropical climates. The soda derived from this fruit retains some of its properties, such as its vitamin C and antioxidant content, in addition to being a refreshing, low-calorie option when it does not contain excessive added sugars.

In different regions of Latin America, grapefruit soda may be called pomelo soda, pomelo water, or simply pomelo soft drink, depending on the country where it is found.

In cooking, grapefruit soda is ideal for adding a bubbly and citrus touch to drinks, desserts, sauces, and marinades, providing a distinctive flavor that enhances other ingredients without overpowering them.
