We have a Pomelo grapefruit tree on our property and it’s always been this giant, looming tree that hovers in our backyard. For years, it bothered me how the pomelos would fall from the tree and scatter all over the ground. But then, my Nespresso pods came in the mail and I thought, it’s time to put those Pomelo grapefruits to good use! Have you ever heard of Pomelo cold brew? AKA Grapefruit cold brew?

Cold Brew is all the rage these days, but adding freshly squeezed fruit juice to it is sort of new. Grapefruit juice and coffee go hand-in-hand because the acidity from the grapefruit juice pairs nicely with the coffee. Both flavors balance each other out quite well.

You can use store-bought grapefruit juice for this recipe, but I highly recommend using fresh-squeezed juice if you can. I get asked all the time on IG stories what juicer I use and this is the one I love! It’s easy to use, easy to clean and is a max extractor so you the get maximum amount of nutrients every time.
Pomelo grapefruit cold brew is super easy to make. All you need are 2-shots of espresso or cold brew iced coffee, 1 teaspoon of honey, 1-cup of freshly squeezed grapefruit juice, and ice. If you don’t have cold brew, you could also use iced coffee. Do try and get espresso if you can though because having espresso shots will create that delicious cold brew foam layer that people love so much!

I added a splash of freshly squeezed lemon juice to this drink and made it even more delicious!
The way to make this the perfect cold brew drink is to fill the glass with ice and add your freshly squeezed juice about a quarter high. Pull the espresso into a separate cup and then slowly pour the espresso over the grapefruit juice and ice. This creates a layer and foam effect, much like traditional cold brew.
I have loads of yummy cocktails and mocktails hitting the blog all summer long so stay tuned!
I’m pumped summer is here and I’m excited for all the trail running, cocktails out on the deck, BBQs, and dinners alfresco in the backyard.
