This mocktail is a perfect balance of sweet, from the satsuma juice, and sour from the grapefruit juice. The fresh mint crushed into it will remind you of a mojito but the citrus flavors will be a bit more nuanced and subtle.

LOVE how quick this is and healthy too! I have featured it (the link) today on my site called "Super Quick Plant-Based Recipes" – where I feature daily recipes that take 20 min. or less to prepare (and many take only 5-10 min.). Thanks for this great idea!
This just looks too good! I must try it!
