SUNSHINE AGUA FRESCA

I am a citrus freak, and this Mexican fruit drink fits the bill! It is such a refreshing thirst-quencher, with its grapefruit, lime and orange juices. I prefer mine more tart and watery; the fiance likes a bit more sugar. It's a "subjective" beverage... tweak to suit your tastes. Prep time includes chilling.
