The best part is there really is no downside. When I started making SJ after your video came out, it really made drinks a lot easier and more convenient to make - and cheaper, without any change in flavor. The environmental bonus is always nice.

Hi Kevin, I hope this message finds you well. I apologize, but I have strong reservations about super juice! In my opinion, it's low-quality chemistry for the less discerning palate. While it may be environmentally friendly, the taste and quality bear no resemblance to fresh lime, orange, or lemon. I adore your videos, but I consider the technique behind super juice to be extremely detrimental to mixology culture! After consuming these acids, the stomach bids farewell. People, let's stop poisoning ourselves and others! Free cheese is only found in a mousetrap... Use fresh citrus for your cocktails. Acids have a place in the cocktail world, but as stabilizers and flavor enhancers. They cannot and should not replace fresh citrus. In my opinion, the amount of acid in comparison to fresh juice should be reduced by a factor of 10. I also want to note that your comparison of the speed of preparing fresh juice versus super juice is inaccurate. Why do you use professional equipment (blender) for making super juice, while you only have a manual squeezer for making fresh juice? An electric juicer would do this job much faster!

I've discovered that the leftover blitzed citrus peels, which are strained out from the final product, are a fantastic culinary ingredient. For example, when I make lemon super juice I reserve the spent peels which are fragrant and tangy and use them to dress fish or punch up vegetable dishes. They have all the 'pop' of the super juice!

Superjuice has a good taste, I don't think it is exactly the same taste as freshly squeezed lime juice, so as an occassional cocktail drinker it doesn't seem to make sense, but for a cocktail bar, it's a smart move. There is no "one size fits all" here but both are great in cocktails, and I'd happily have either.

@@andrewjohnston9115 Yes and no. Superjuice is basically a synthetic juice, whereas fresh juice is exactly that: 100% natural juice. Call me old school, but I'd be pissed if I paid for a cocktail in a high-end bar and they used anything but pure, natural citrus juice. I get the attraction of less work and saving money, but ultimately, it should be up to the customer as to what goes into his/her drink, not up to the bar.

The amount of excellence that your videos exude is incredible! I may come to your channel to find a specific tid-bit of information… or maybe simply to pass the time with cocktail inspiration… Point is… no matter what the reason I end up on your channel, at some point or another, I always find myself simply admiring how well you make these videos. The structure, the commentary, the notations, the lighting, the audio, the camera quality, the outfit, and last but not least the mustache that is never a hair out place. Excellent from start to finish! Cheers Kevin! I see you

At the first bar I worked at, I convinced the owners to let me try using Super Juice instead of freshly squeezed juice. It immediately improved the efficiency of our prep work, saved our bar a great deal of money on otherwise wasted citrus that previously would get over-ordered and spoil before it could be used, and improved the consistent quality of our drinks. Suffice to say, Super Juice and the calculator provided on your website have become essential tools for my bartending practices. Many thanks from me and The Waiting Room in Durham, NC.

Oh yeah

For my home bar I've used exclusively superjuice for the last year for a number of reasons. The shelf-life is one but for me the big perk is the yield. Not so much for the money but as I live in a part of the world where limes are shipped in from quite a ways away, it feels kinda unnecessary to use so much fresh limes and lemons when I can get so much more juice from significantly less citrus and the results are very close by comparison.

Super Juice is saving time is important as we only get so much so saving some even 2 minutes per liter, using less raw materials is also good, less storage, resupplying and money by extend. Helping the environment is a nice big bonus. But I especially like the long self life as I primarily make cocktails for myself and my friends on our weekly gatherings so super juice helps me a lot there. Also Super Juice was the first video I watched from this channel, thanks a lot Kevin, love all your recipes and you gave me the inspirations and courage to start mixing cocktail, as I always saw it as herculean task to learn, you made it easy.

⏳♻️ Hey Kevin, nice to see you revisit the topic of super juice and how widespread it’s become lately! I was wondering if you could also revisit the topic of grapefruit super juice. At the end of your original grapefruit video, you mentioned that the recipe needed some tweaking and I would love to hear an updated recipe if you have one. You mentioned that the grapefruit recipe would need to stay closer to a citrus recipe because the addition of sugar naturally found in grapefruit would affect its longevity. This is a great point and has the added benefit of being able to swap out another citrus juice for the grapefruit super juice for some fun experimenting, but couldnt you add simple syrup/gum syrup separately in the actual cocktail to still make recipes that were designed around fresh squeezed grapefruit juice’s natural sweetness and texture? And if so what would the math for that look like? On that same note, what would the math look like for adding sugar/texture back in to the cocktail for the acid adjusted orange juice as well? Thanks as always for having such stellar content and I hope you can do a whole video on this topic if there is enough to say!

There's this tedious frugal cook on KZread who uses the exchange rate alone to give prices in other countries, not understanding that things cost more the further they have to travel.

Hey Kevin, wonderful video as always. I've been using super juice for a while now and as a homebar enthusiast it's amazing as it greatly increases the shelf life. Considering the shelf life of super juice and the option to clarify it, I'm wondering how viable it is to make bottled cocktails complete with bottle cap that will stay good for 1+ month. I know you've made several videos about super juice and bottled cocktails but with these aspects one should be able to make their own signature cocktails in a large batch (without shaking) and bottle them so they'll last nearly the entire summer. It would be quite cool to make a great bottled Zombie and have it available at all times without having to grab all your bottles and equipment. Do you think this would be feasible or would you say that shelf life and preparation is too much of a problem for this concept?

Going to have to try this Mijenta tequila

I love super juice and it's my preferred way to go about cocktails when I'm having people over. However, as far as differences it's important to point out that it doesn't have ascorbic acid, so you're getting less vitamin C if consuming super juice instead of regular juice.

How much sugar/simple syrup would you add to the orange super juice to roughly approximate an average orange's juice ?

i feel its more of a problem with the consistency of the quality of fruit i get tbh.

Has to be the time saved. Since it keeps pretty well, I can make larger batches less frequently.

Living in Mexico, it's pointless for me (home bartender) to do lime super juice. But lemon is always far too much juice for one or two drinks, so that super juice reduces my waste many times over. Orange super juice I've never gotten into and probably should, though. Especially acid adjusted.

For some reason super juice doesn’t taste as good to me as actual lime/lemon juice. When I first got into making cocktails, I started with super juice, but after I tried just juicing regularly I thought it much better. Super juice to me just tastes like weaker flavored water.

Everyone claims super juice is more sustainable, yet nobody’s actually done the research on what goes into making the acids needed… Citric acid is made by feeding corn, wheat etc.. to black mold, which converts the sugars to citric acid. For some reason I find it hard to believe that’s more sustainable than squeezing a lime which was grown on a tree and sent on a truck from Mexico 🤷‍♂️
