Grapefruit-ade, Ver. 2.0

After a little trial and error, the Grapefruit-ade recipe needs a little revision. Instead of the 1-2-3 proportions noted, the following works better:

Roger's Grapefruit-ade (Ver. 2.0)
2 cups fresh white grapefruit juice
2/3 cup sugar (up to 3/4 cup, to taste)
4 cups water

Be sure to mix the sugar into the juice and water BEFORE adding ice to help the sugar dissolve completely.

Much better at these proportions. . . by the by, my generous colleague and not-to-near neighbor Jeremy (who provides the grapefruit) swears by the old recipe, only he replaces the last 1/2 cup of liquid with orange or lemon juice. . . haven't tried it myself yet, but sounds pretty good too.

Gail brought grapefruit ade to the square-foot gardening workshop yesterday, and it was a big hit. Decided to look for other recipes, and, wouldn't you know, I come across another RIPErian.
