Virgin (or not) Grapefruit Mojito

Spring has sprung with our Grapefruit Mojito recipe. Spring is here and with it comes a new growing season, filled with delicious citrus produce. We all know that using “in season” fruit and veg is the way to go, so we figured we would help you make the best of spring with this Virgin Grapefruit Mojito (we won’t tell anyone if you spice it up with a shot of vodka!).
