Juice is the liquid that is naturally contained in fruit or vegetable tissue. Juice is prepared by mechanically squeezing or macerating fresh fruits or vegetables flesh without the application of heat or solvents. For example, orange juice is the liquid extract of the fruit of the orange tree. Juice may be prepared in the home from fresh fruits and vegetables using a variety of hand or electric juicers.

Fruit juice[]

The most popular fruit juices used in cocktails are lemon juice, lime juice and orange juice, but these are by far not the only juices used. Fruit nectars are also used, these are simply thicker fruit juices which tend to contain a bit more fruit pulp and have a creamier texture.

Vegetable juice[]

Vegetable juices are not quite as popular in cocktails though not unheard of. V8 Juice and carrot juice come to mind. Tomato juice is sometimes considered a vegetable juice as well.
