Nothing wakes up a plate like these tangy-sweet grapefruit recipes. As far as citrus fruits go, the bulbous beauties may be the most unsung. But we think it deserves way more attention, given how bright and bracing it is. Whether it’s old-school broiled grapefruit with brown sugar for brunch, a zippy cocktail made with fresh grapefruit juice for happy hour, or a grapefruit salad made with juicy, colorful segments, it’s a fruit that instantly adds spunk to whatever you’re serving. No matter which variety you gravitate toward, seek out the heaviest pink, ruby red, and white grapefruits when shopping—more weight means more juice.
