Method
Prep and chill
Chill juices and bottles
Place all selected juices and the empty bottles in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes so the final product is cold and ready to drink. If using fresh-squeezed juice, strain through a fine mesh to remove pulp if you prefer a smooth texture.
Sanitize bottles and lids by washing in hot soapy water, rinsing well, and optionally running through the dishwasher. Allow to air dry completely.
Portion and fill
Measure each juice
Using a measuring cup, portion 1 cup (8 fl oz) of each chosen juice. This yields approximately six 8-12 oz servings depending on bottle size. Adjust to fit your bottle volume if using larger bottles.
Fill bottles
Place a funnel into one bottle. Pour the first measured juice (e.g., apple) into the bottle, leaving about 1/2 inch headspace. Cap the bottle tightly. Repeat with the remaining five juices, one juice per bottle (orange, cranberry, pineapple, grapefruit, tomato). If you prefer smaller or larger portions, scale each juice equally so all bottles contain the same volume.
If you want lightly sparkling juice, leave 1/4 cup headspace and top each bottle with up to 1/2 cup chilled sparkling water before sealing. Do not overfill if sealing airtight bottles that may build pressure.
Finish and serve
Label each bottle with the juice type and date. Add a lemon or lime wedge to the bottle neck or inside for garnish if desired and tuck a mint sprig under the cap for aroma.
Store the six-pack in the refrigerator. Consume chilled within 3–5 days for best freshness (fresh-squeezed juices should be consumed within 48 hours). Shake gently before serving if juices have settled.
To serve: remove cap, add 1 ice cube (or a few) per serving if desired, and enjoy. If using sparkling-topped bottles, open carefully to release pressure slowly.
