While the recipe is non-alcoholic, you can add a [touch of vodka](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minute-maid-spiked-vodka-lemonade) to turn the old-fashioned lemonade into a [refreshing cocktail](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grey-goose-raspberry-lemonade). To make, squeeze the juice of two pink organic grapefruits into a bowl. Filter the liquid into a pitcher using a strainer. Next, stir in sugar and cold water. The recipe suggests a third of a cup of grapefruit juice and two thirds of a cup of water, but it's ultimately based on personal preference. Pour into a ice-filled glass and garnish with a sprig of mint to serve. The pink grapefruit adds a fruity, tropical dimension to lemonade, making it the perfect beverage for weathering those stifling hot days. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Fruit-infused Beverages:** Opportunity for businesses to create and market innovative fruit-infused beverages using unique flavor combinations. - **Non-alcoholic Cocktails:** Disruptive opportunity to develop and promote non-alcoholic cocktail recipes that provide a refreshing alternative for those looking to enjoy flavorful beverages without alcohol. - **Creative Garnishes:** Potential for businesses to explore and experiment with unique garnishes to enhance the visual appeal and taste of beverages. ### Who This Affects Most - **Beverage Manufacturing:** Opportunity for beverage manufacturers to capitalize on the rise in demand for fruit-infused beverages and develop new product lines. - **Hospitality and Event Planning:** Opportunity for event planners and hospitality businesses to offer innovative non-alcoholic cocktail options at events and venues. - **Craft Cocktail Bars:** Disruptive opportunity for craft cocktail bars to introduce creative garnishes and elevate the drinking experience for their patrons. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Citrusy Hydration Supplements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electrolit-pink-grapefruit.md) - [Grapefruit-Flavored Pink Vodkas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sobieski.md) - [Grapefruit-Inspired Non-Alcoholic Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grapefruit-fizz.md) - [Simplified Grapefruit Cocktail Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paloma-mix.md) - [Fan-Created Kombucha Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pink-lemonade-kombucha.md) - [Cult-Favorite Pink Lemonade Spritzes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pink-lemonade-spritz.md) - [Refreshing Grape Juice Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/welchs-grapeade.md) - [Gin Lemonade Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sparkling-lemon.md) - [Elevated Tennis-Inspired Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grey-goose-raspberry-lemonade.md)
