Substitutes for Grapes
| Substitute | Note | Zero-proof |
|---|---|---|
| White grape juice | Sweet, with the same fresh grape flavour, so it is the easiest swap for muddled grapes. Use red grape juice in place of red grapes. | |
| Verjuice | Tart and unsweetened, with a clean grape flavour. Add a little simple syrup. | |
| Blueberry | Darker and more tart, so the colour changes. Add a little more sugar. |
Types of Grapes
