Grapefruit Cinnamon Clove & Cardamom Lemonade

The GCCC Lemonade is a lemonade recipe inspire by chai tea, switching the water used in traditional lemonade recipes with water flavored and spiced, this result with very unique and sharp flavor lemonade, the mix between the cinnamon and the grapefruit is one that would make a strong impact on any lemonade, but specially here. I already have a million variation that I can see doing on this recipe, but here is the one I used this time.

Grapefruit Blackberry Lemonade

Grapefruit lemonade is one of my favorites, but its even better with blackberries, which adds not just fantastic color to any lemonade, but also a solid layer of flavor and complexity, it is an all around super refreshing drink, the variations on this are endless, you can drink it at any time of the day, add it to a lemonade cleanse,  or mix it with your alcohol of choice (Bourbon or tequila would win a lot of points here)

Nutritional benefits:

I am a big fan of the grapefruit diet using the fruit’s low glycemic index this is really a great way to boost the metabolism and burn fat faster. that with the combination of blackberries as a natural antioxidant makes this juice a great nutritional benefits in any diet.

Ingredients:

3 lemons.

1 grapefruit

blackberries (handful)

2 cups water

Agave Nectar

Method:

Juice.

Mix.

Sweeten.

Chill.

Drink.

Note:

I find that it is easier to use a Citrus press to extract grapefruit and lemon juice rather than a traditional juicer, you have to do less prep work that way.

Grapefruit Strawberry Lemonade

Lemonade is just a great base for almost any kind of experiments and flavor building, here is another lemonade recipe, grapefruit strawberries lemonade, between the sweet bitterness of the grapefruit and the light acidity and sweetness of the strawberries, combined with fresh lemon juice, this is one of the most refreshing and flavorful juice recipes out there. You can drink it just as is, have it be a part of  a lemonade cleanse or simply add your favorite alcohol to it and take it to the next level (Bourbon or campari + grand marnier would work great here).

you probably note that in this lemonade video I am also adding a bit of ginger juice to the mix, it is optional though I think that it adds a layer of complexity to the juice.

Nutritional benefits:

Enough been said about the grapefruit diet and its powerful way to boost the metabolism in the body using fruit’s low glycemic index and helping the body to burn more fat. Strawberries known to be rich with vitamin C and flavonoids which works as a natural antioxidant.

Ingredients:

3 lemons.

1 grapefruit (blood grapefruit would work nice here as well).

handful of strawberries.

2 cups of water.

Agave nectar.

Ginger (optional)

Method:

Juice.

Mix.

Season.

Chill.

Drink.

Note:

Citrus press might be easier to use to extract grapefruit and lemon juice rather than a traditional juicer.

Another refreshing take on the traditional lemonade, a combination of blueberries, grapefruit and a touch of ginger, creating very energetic type of lemonade. depending on the time of the day and the occasion you serve this, you can pick and choose if you’ll like to enhance it with your fav liqueur, if so I would recommend adding around 3oz of either bourbon  or tequila.

Nutrition Benefits:

Blueberries loaded with high level of dietary mineral manganese, vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin K and dietary fiber known for their potential anti-disease effects, and reducing the risk of cancer and heart disease. Grapefruit are rich with vitamin C and the beneficial antioxidant lycopene which help to lower the level of r cholesterol. Grapefruit take a big part of the “grapefruit diet“, which is based on the fruit’s low glycemic index ability to boost the metabolism burn more fat.

2oz blueberry juice.
