Low residue diets limit citrus peel and pulpy juice because they add fiber and residue. The small amount of grapefruit zest here contributes very little and the juice adds minimal fiber, so it is likely low residue. If you prefer to always avoid grapefruit, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
To assemble
- 1 bottle (32 oz) sparkling water, chilled
- ice, for serving
