How to Make Apricot Citrus Drink

  1. In a 2-quart pitcher, combine 1 ½ cups apricot nectar, 1 cup orange juice, ½ cup grapefruit juice, and ¼ cup lemon juice. Stir gently to combine.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar (or to taste) and stir until completely dissolved. Adjust sweetness according to your preference.

  4. Pour into 4 glasses filled with ice and garnish with orange slices or fresh mint sprigs (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
