This is simple to whip up and is completely refreshing! The semi-sweet and tart flavor of the grapefruit pairs nicely with the ginger beer. The drink provides 70 percent (44 milligrams) of the daily requirement of vitamin C and 25 percent (1,186 IU) of vitamin A! In addition, the grapefruit provides the antioxidants beta-carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin, and lycopene. Serves 1 (1½ cups)
Combine the grapefruit and ginger beer in a blender and blend to puree. Pour into a glass, finish with a few ice cubes, and serve immediately.
