Orange juice is a fruit juice made by freshly squeezing oranges, offering a rich source of vitamin C along with natural sweetness and refreshing tartness, making it a popular cocktail base.
Its bright, smooth flavor complements a wide range of cocktails by softening strong alcohol notes and enhancing fruity profiles.
Orange juice is a key ingredient in iconic cocktails such as the Tequila Sunrise, Mimosa, and Screwdriver.
Freshly squeezed orange juice provides a more intense aroma and taste compared to commercial products, greatly improving the overall quality of the drink.
When possible, it's best to use pulp-rich fresh juice, and choosing unsweetened, additive-free options helps highlight the natural flavors.
