Fun Fact
Orange juice is one of the most widely consumed fruit juices globally. While oranges originated in Southeast Asia, they were brought to Europe and then the Americas, with Florida and Brazil becoming major producers. The commercial production of orange juice, especially frozen concentrate, boomed in the mid-20th century.
Bartender's Tips
- 💡Always use freshly squeezed oranges for the best taste and nutritional benefits.
- 💡For a sweeter juice, choose oranges like Valencia or navel. For a tarter option, a mix with some blood oranges or even a splash of lime can be nice.
- 💡You can blend a small amount of the pulp back into the juice for added fiber and texture.
- 💡Store any leftover fresh juice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
