Saw this done with a lemon in the February edition of Pop Photo by Bryan Peterson (probably BradP's brother).

Congratulations on your top 10 finish, Owen. I'm glad I was the only one distracted by the white shape around the grapefruit. ;-) It really is a GREAT photo.
Great Owen! Congrat's on your well deserved top 10 finish. Wasn't sure, and the details don't say: I assume this is a grapefruit frozen in ice? Or is this looking down into a glass that is foaming?
Thanks Neil. It's a large bowl drink glass filled with soda water. Got the idea from Pop Photo - a tutorial by Bryan Peterson.

I wish this was bigger, but your pano crop might have forced this size. color and sharpness are outstanding. this is an occasion where the centered composition works well. congrats! 8
I love the pink area of the photo -- it's just stunning. But the white oval behind it is very distracting. It keeps pulling my attention away from the main subject. I hope this is a helpful comment.
