Juices Recipe

Chill and prepare glasses

If juices are not already cold, refrigerate bottles or cartons for at least 30 minutes. Place 1 cup of ice cubes into each glass if you prefer your juice very cold and slightly diluted. Alternatively, skip ice to serve undiluted.

Measure and pour

For each variety, measure 1 cup of the chosen juice and pour into an individual chilled glass. Use separate glasses for each flavor (Apple, Orange, Cranberry, Pineapple, Grapefruit).

Optional garnish

Garnish each juice as desired: a wedge of lemon or lime on the rim for tart juices (grapefruit, cranberry or orange), or a small mint sprig for pineapple and apple. Serve immediately.

Serving notes

Offer juices individually or arrange as a small flight so guests can sample each. If serving multiple guests, keep unopened cartons refrigerated and replace ice as needed.

To make a simple juice cooler, combine 1 cup juice with 1/2 cup sparkling water in the glass and stir gently. Adjust sparkling water to taste. For a less sweet option, mix equal parts juice and chilled water.

If using fresh-squeezed juices: strain pulp through a fine sieve for a smooth texture, and taste for sweetness—add a small squeeze of lemon or a tiny drizzle of honey only if needed.
