Ginger-Grapefruit Fizz

Sometimes it's hard to find a special, non-alcoholic beverage for parties that isn't a punch. That's why I love this grown-up bubbly drink that offers a little tartness from the grapefruit and spice from the ginger. —Dawn Viola, Clermont, Florida

    Sounds amazing! Going to mix up a test batch tomorrow, love the peppercorns! I am always looking for a non alcoholic alternative too, this fits the bill. Thanks for sharing.
