To prepare a drink, simply mix the pink grapefruit squash with water according to your preference for sweetness and flavor intensity. A common ratio is one part squash to four or five parts water, but this can be adjusted. It can be served chilled over ice for maximum refreshment.

It can also be incorporated into culinary creations, such as a glaze for poultry or fish, or as a base for homemade ice pops.

Compared to standard grapefruit juice, this high juice squash offers a more concentrated flavor and requires dilution. This allows for greater control over the final taste and sweetness. It also has a longer shelf life when unopened due to its concentrated nature and preservative content.

How to keep the rest
Store the unopened bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, refrigerate the squash and consume within the recommended timeframe, typically a few weeks, to maintain its freshness and flavor.
