MSG Free Classic Grapefruit Sparkling Water

Bright, citrusy, and genuinely refreshing, this sparkling drink is the kind of thing you'll want to keep in the fridge all week. A simple homemade grapefruit syrup — made from real zest and freshly squeezed juice — gives it a depth of flavor that no store-bought version can match. Commercial flavored sparkling waters and sodas often sneak in additives, flavor enhancers, and preservatives that can be hard to track down on a label, so making your own is a satisfying way to stay in control of exactly what goes into your glass. The syrup comes together in just one small saucepan, and steeping the zest takes the citrus flavor from flat to genuinely vibrant. Straining it smooth before combining with chilled sparkling water keeps everything clean and elegant. Poured over ice with a fresh grapefruit wedge on the rim, it looks like something you'd order at a nice brunch spot — except you made it yourself with four simple ingredients.
