Fix and swap
Didn't come out right? Fix it.
- Too tart
Use less lemon with tart cherries. A sweet cherry variety gives a different result from a tart one.
- Too pulpy
Strain if desired and follow the juicer's soft-fruit guidance; do not force the fruit through.
- Cherry?
Strawberry. Gives a lighter berry flavor; remove the leafy tops.
- Lemon?
Lime. Makes a sharper citrus variation; use a small amount first.

Use clean equipment and a clean covered bottle. Refrigerate promptly and enjoy the same day for best flavor. This is fresh raw juice, not a shelf-stable drink; discard it if storage history or freshness is questionable. Yield is a produce-size estimate and varies with the fruit and juicer.

Serving: Juices can fit well near a balanced meal or snack, especially when the recipe is fruit-forward.
