Ingredients

1 grapefruit, peeled and chopped (remove white pith)
1 large orange, peeled and chopped (remove white pith)
½ seedless English cucumber, peeled and chopped
1 inch piece of ginger, peeled
½ cup water
ice, for serving (optional)

Instructions

In an upright blender, combine the grapefruit, orange, cucumber, ginger, and water. Bring the speed up to high and blend until completely smooth and liquified. Strain the juice through either a fine mesh strainer positioned over a bowl or through a nut milk bag. Serve the juice over ice if you like. Winter sparkle juice will keep in a sealed bottle in your fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes

I make this in a blender and then fine strain the result to make the juice. If you have a juicer, feel free to use that instead!
I used a Cara Cara orange because I had it on hand and the rosy hue was hard to resist. A regular old navel orange is fine though!
Both my grapefruit and orange were super sweet. If you’re finding the juice a bit on the bitter side, stir in a bit of agave nectar or other sweetener you like.
