Grapefruit Juice

Grapefruit juice is the pale-to-rosy liquid pressed from grapefruit. It delivers brisk acidity with gentle sweetness and a pithy bitterness, reduces cleanly in sauces, and shines in cocktails. Cooks use it for marinades, vinaigrettes, sorbets, and pan sauces; it is sold fresh-squeezed, not-from-concentrate, or from concentrate.\n\nGrapefruit originated in the Caribbean in the 18th century and spread through Florida and Texas, where commercial juicing expanded. The juice features in North American breakfasts and cocktail traditions, with year-round supply supported by concentrate processing and international citrus production.
