Pink grapefruit, bittersweet, enough for the whole table.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePink grapefruit juice\u003c\/strong\u003e by Alain Milliat in the 1-liter bottle is a pure fruit juice made from pink grapefruits, intended for brunch, family meals, and guests. No orange juice for sweet lovers, no nectar, no lemonade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe pink grapefruit juice in the 1-liter bottle\u003c\/strong\u003e is a fruit juice with 100% fruit content from the French juice maker Alain Milliat, made from pink grapefruits. A brunch with six people empties three small bottles before the eggs are on the table. The large bottle solves this with a single move into the refrigerator. In the glass, the juice glows a delicate pink with an orange shimmer, while the nose offers ripe citrus fruit and a tart edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePink grapefruit juice with sweetness upfront and bitterness on the finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePink grapefruit juice lives on the interplay between fruity sweetness and a subtle bitter note that only fully emerges on the finish. The first impression is shaped by ripe citrus fruit, juicy and clear. This is followed by a lively acidity that keeps the palate fresh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe bitterness comes mainly from naringin, the typical bitter substance of grapefruit. Pink varieties are considered milder than yellow or white ones, which is why this juice tastes rounder. It owes its color to lycopene, the pigment that also colors tomatoes red. The texture is flowing and light, not thick like a nectar made from fruit pulp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone expecting a sweet breakfast juice like orange or apple juice will find it too tart. Children, as experience shows, prefer milder varieties. Those who appreciate the bitter note, on the other hand, get a fruit without any softening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrom the brunch buffet to a pitcher with tonic\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the 1-liter bottle, the grapefruit juice plays its strength everywhere where several glasses are filled at once. At brunch, it stands well chilled in a carafe next to scrambled eggs, smoked salmon, and croissants. Its acidity takes the heaviness off fatty dishes, similar to a splash of lemon. For an alcohol-free aperitif, fill a glass halfway with juice, top it up with tonic water, and add a sprig of rosemary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the large pitcher, a Paloma for six people is easy to make. For this, mix 300 ml Blanco tequila, 600 ml juice, and the juice of two limes, topped up with soda water. Alain Milliat himself publishes recipes in which grapefruit meets gin. In the kitchen, the juice replaces half the vinegar in a vinaigrette for fennel or avocado salad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Once opened, the bottle goes into the refrigerator and should be emptied within three days. For a single-person household, the liter is therefore not the right format; the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/alain-milliat-pampelmusen-saft-330ml\"\u003esmall 330 ml grapefruit juice bottle\u003c\/a\u003e is a better fit there. Serve the juice between 8 and 12 °C, because ice-cold, the fruit recedes behind the acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA fruit grower who treats juice like wine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlain Milliat comes from a fruit-growing family in Orliénas southwest of Lyon and has run the family farm himself since 1983. In 1997, he began developing juices for top-tier gastronomy. He sent the first bottles to establishments of the Relais \u0026amp; Châteaux association, whose sommeliers tasted them like wines. To this day, the house carefully coordinates acidity, sweetness, and texture with chefs and sommeliers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor this juice, pink grapefruits are harvested only when fully ripe. Citrus fruits belong to the non-climacteric fruits, so they do not ripen after picking. Sugar and aroma must therefore fully develop on the tree. It is bottled in Valence in the Rhone Valley.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA side note:\u003c\/strong\u003e The German product name is slightly misleading. In French, grapefruit is called pamplemousse, hence the designation on the label. Botanically, the pamplemousse is a separate, significantly larger citrus fruit. Grapefruit originated in the 18th century on Barbados as a cross between pamplemousse and orange.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA tart counterpoint at the family table\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe special feature lies in a pure fruit juice whose bitterness was deliberately not softened. At a table with guests, it forms the adult counterpoint to orange and apple juice. Anyone who invites people for Sunday breakfast or plans an alcohol-free garden party can pour about six glasses of 150 ml each from one liter. As a gift for hosts who like Campari or Bitter Lemon, the bottle reliably hits their taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOne liter of pink grapefruit that gives the breakfast table an adult, tart note and is far from running out during the aperitif.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Alain Milliat","offers":[{"title":"1 liter","offer_id":57860414079302,"sku":"026MIL0050","price":8.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4960\/1350\/files\/alain-milliat-pampelmusen-saft-1l.png?v=1794406377","url":"https:\/\/genussland.de\/en\/products\/alain-milliat-pampelmusen-saft-1l","provider":"genussland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
