Sweet and tart with mellow banana, bitter sweet grapefruit and a juicy pomegranate note.
Banana nectar is a thick, sweet drink made from banana purée, water and usually some sugar. Here it balances the bitterness and acidity of grapefruit, while half a pear adds body and pomegranate seeds a fresh, berry like tartness.\n\nThe result is fruity and mild enough for people who normally find grapefruit too bitter.
