If you’re a fan of in-season, local fruit, keep an eye out for these spring fruits at your local grocery store or market.

Lemons

Lemons are at their peak in late winter and early spring, making them a great choice for this time of the year. Their tart flavor and range of uses, from lemon peel in cakes to lemon juice in citrus marinades, make them a versatile and incredibly useful fruit to have in your kitchen.

Kiwis

Kiwis come into their peak season in the spring in the Northern Hemisphere, which means that you can enjoy a more local product instead of something imported from Australia or New Zealand. Not only are these fruits delicious, but they’re also incredibly healthy.

Grapefruit

Grapefruit is another one of our spring picks, as it comes into season just around the same time as their citrus cousin, the lemon does. Grapefruits provide a great Vitamin C boost to help you avoid getting sick and they’re are also super tasty if you like tart flavors.

Try these fruits, which are full of water, in order to help yourself keep hydrated all day long.

Watermelon

It isn’t surprising that watermelon is packed with H2O, is it? Containing up to 92% water by weight, watermelon is a healthy snack that gives you a hydration and sugar boost to keep you going throughout the day.

Grapefruit

One of our favorite fruits to eat in the morning to help us get hydrated is grapefruit. Containing the same proportion of water to watermelon, you can’t go wrong with grapefruit.

Cantaloupe

Cantaloupe is a member of the same fruit family as watermelon, and it’s also completely packed with water. Nine-tenths of a piece of cantaloupe consists of water, and you’ll find that it’s another great hydration alternative.

Peel

People underestimate how much the peel matters in all forms of cooking. If you’re making a vinaigrette, you can use a microplane to zest in a little bit to add that extra bright flavor. Or, you can zest it into your favorite cakes and icings. You can also use a vegetable peeler to make bigger slices and use that as the garnish to a cocktail.

Juice

Grapefruit juice on its own is so delicious and tart, the perfect afternoon pick me up or morning treat, You can also use the juice to make salad dressings for savory salads or even fruit salads. Combine the juice with icing sugar and you have a simple fruity glaze to cakes, muffins and other baked goods, and mix some juice with tequila and you have a gorgeous cocktail.

Meat

The meat of the grapefruit is so juicy and perfect, which is why it’s such a favorite for breakfast. But, to spice it up, throw it into a salad with arugula and goat cheese and watch it sing. Or, use it as the star of a citrus and fennel salad!

Ingredients

For the grilled Paloma cocktail, you should get:
4 oz tequila
4 oz grapefruit juice
1 medium yellow or pink grapefruit
2 oz of squeezed lime juice
1 oz agave nectar or simple syrup
2 limes
kosher salt
2 oz club soda
ice

Instructions:

Before starting, cut the grapefruit and limes in half.

The grilled part in the name of the cocktail comes from the fact that you have to grill the citrus fruits to prepare the drink. Turn on your grill and prepare a grill pan. Place the halves of the limes and the grapefruit on the pan for 4 to 5 minutes. You will notice brown lines on them, that means they’re done.

Now it’s time to prepare the high ball glasses for the drink. Pour the salt on a plate and place the wet rim of the glass on the salt. Use a shaker and fill it with ice. Pour 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz squeezed lime juice, 2 oz squeezed grapefruit juice, 1/2 oz agave nectar. Shake the liquids and add pour it in one glass.

Finish off with 1 oz of club soda. Use the rest of the ingredients for the second.
