What Would You Do With 2 Dozen Grapefruit?

And maybe the more important quesetion...what is the plural of grapefruit? It has an "s" right?

grapefruit [ˈgreipfruːt] noun — plurals ˈgrapefruit, ~ˈgrapefruits

Anyway, I had about 2 dozen grapefruit that only had another 3 days---that would have been 8 grapefruit per day for three days. That would not have worked, so I decided to juice and freeze them. I made two trays of ice cubes and about a gallon of juice.

This leads me to tell everyone about my favorite cocktail (possibly of all time).


Danielle's Grapefruit Drink
3-4 oz. vodka
3-5 mint leaves
juice from two grapefruits

muddle the mint and vodka together then put into a shaker. Add a handul of crushed ice and juice. Shake. Pour into a tall glass. I don't strain, but you can if you want to. Garnish with a frozen green grape.

  1. I freeze the juice from my excess limes and lemons and recently a bag of sour oranges given to me by a friend.

  2. Oh, that sounds super refreshing! Though right about now, watching a late snow fall here in northeast Ohio, it gives me chills and I'm reaching for hot tea. Come on, summer!

  3. I find myself thinking, with all of these ice-tray shots, "how big is this lady's freezer?!"

    ;)
