Note
For best texture, ensure grapes are thoroughly chilled before assembling the drinks.
If the orange juice is particularly tart, you may add a teaspoon of honey or sugar to balance the flavor.
This drink is best served immediately after assembly to prevent the grapes from becoming waterlogged.
You can substitute red seedless grapes for a darker color and slightly different flavor profile.
