Low Sodium Classic Grapefruit Sparkling Water

Bright, citrusy, and endlessly refreshing, this homemade sparkling water is the kind of drink that makes plain store-bought fizzy water feel like a missed opportunity. A quick grapefruit syrup — made by gently warming sugar, water, fresh juice, and zest together — gives the whole thing a vibrant, slightly floral depth that no bottled version can match. Because you're building the flavor from scratch with just fruit and sugar, there's zero sodium hiding in the mix, making it a genuinely clean sip from start to finish. The syrup steeps off the heat so the zest has time to fully infuse before you strain it out, leaving behind a smooth, golden concentrate that's as beautiful as it is delicious. Poured over ice and topped with chilled sparkling water, it stays beautifully bubbly as long as you keep your stirring gentle. A fresh grapefruit wedge on the rim turns it into something you'd happily serve at brunch or a summer gathering without a second thought.
