HAPPY HOUR: SIMPLE AND REFRESHING NON-ALCOHOLIC GRAPEFRUIT THYME FIZZ

Jul 10, 2023menus + recipes
Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

My mocktail game has been strong this summer and (so far) this grapefruit thyme fizz is everyone’s favorite! I used to kinda roll my eyes at the thought of a non-alcoholic cocktail (I mean, what’s the point!?) but have come to appreciate how refreshing, fun, and aesthetically pleasing they are. A really simple and delicious way to make a mundane evening at home feel special. Of course, you could also add some champs or alcohol to this drink if you’re feeling frisky! Take a peek at the recipe below and let me know in the comments (or @raeannkelly) if you give this grapefruit thyme fizz a try!

P.S. – Don’t let the yellow grapefruit throw you off! Normally this drink would be pink instead of yellow, but Blanco Grapefruits were the only kind in stock at our local grocery store — and they were delicious!

REFRESHING GRAPEFRUIT THYME FIZZ MOCKTAIL

Whether you're looking for simple ways to romanticize your life, or you want to cut back on alcohol, this recipe is a good one to try! It's also light, refreshing, bubbly, and fun to garnish.
Serves 2 mocktails

YOU’LL NEED:

SIMPLE SYRUP

  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3 sprigs thyme

MOCKTAIL

  • 1 cup fresh grapefruit juice (2-3 grapefruits)
  • 1 cup sparkling water (like Pellegrino)
  • 1 tablespoon simple syrup (recipe above)
  • ice!
  • garnish: thyme, grapefruit slices
  • extra sugar for rim

HERE’S HOW:

SIMPLE SYRUP

  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and water, and stir until sugar has dissolved completely.
  • Remove from heat, add thyme sprigs, and let steep for 10 minutes. Remove sprigs, transfer to storage container and let cool before using in your cocktail. Store remaining syrup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a month.

MOCKTAIL

  • Juice grapefruit, reserving a slice or two for your garnish.
  • Gently rub a slice of grapefruit to all or part of your cocktail glass of choice. Dip in sugar. Fill glass with ice, 1/2 cup grapefruit juice, 1/2 cup sparkling water, and 1 tablespoon of simple syrup.
  • Garnish as desired and serve immediately… YUM!

CRISP & FLUFFY HOMEMADE WAFFLE RECIPE

YOU’LL NEED:
2 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 tablespoons sugar
2 eggs (divide egg and yoke)
1-2/3 cup whole milk
1/3 cup butter, melted
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
TOPPING IDEAS: butter, maple syrup, whipped cream, *sprinkles, peanut butter, jam, *cacao nibs, chocolate chips, powdered sugar, berries, bananas, cinnamon, sliced peaches, fried or scrambled egg, etc.

HERE’S HOW:
Preheat your waffle iron and melt butter over low, if using stovetop.
In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder, and sugar. Whisk together.
Divide the egg yolk and whites into two separate medium sized bowls.
Add the milk, butter, and vanilla extract to the yolk bowl and mix to combine.
With a hand or stand mixer, beat the egg whites on medium-high until stiff peaks form. Should only take a couple minutes and makes the waffles so fluffy!
Pour yolk and milk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir or whisk until combined, being careful not to over-mix. Add the egg whites and fold them into the batter gently.
Heat oven to 250-275 degrees to keep cooked waffles warm and crisp. Lightly grease waffle iron (I like to brush on a little butter). Use a measuring cup to pour batter onto waffle iron, until wells are almost covered. Close the iron and cook for about 4 minutes or until golden brown. (Tip: This is a great time to prep toppings or tidy up the kitchen. If you’re like me though, be sure to set a timer!)
Place cooked waffles in a single layer, directly on rack in oven. When ready, top and serve!
