Grapefruit, orange, and cucumber lemonade is a homemade nonalcoholic drink for hot days. It starts with freshly squeezed grapefruit, orange, and lemon juice. Thin rounds of unpeeled citrus and lengthwise slices of cucumber are added to the pitcher, then topped with sparkling mineral water and served over ice. Wash the citrus thoroughly with hot water before slicing, and keep the lemonade in the refrigerator, preferably in a glass pitcher or bottle.

Instructions
Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.
- Halve the grapefruits, an orange, and a lemon. Squeeze out the juice and pour it into a pitcher.
- Thoroughly wash the remaining lemons and orange with hot water, leaving the peels on. Dry them, cut into thin rounds, and add to the pitcher.
- Wash the cucumber, leaving the peel on, and dry it. Cut it lengthwise into thin slices and add them to the pitcher.
- Finally, pour in the chilled sparkling mineral water and add ice cubes. Stir with a long spoon and serve well chilled.
Tip: Add the sparkling mineral water just before serving so it doesn't go flat. Don't leave the unpeeled citrus rounds in the pitcher overnight—the white pith will make the lemonade bitter.
