Fix and swap

Didn't come out right? Fix it.

  • Too sweet

    Add more cucumber or a squeeze of lime to pull the bottle back toward crisp.

  • Too sharp

    Add a few cucumber pieces or a small pear wedge to soften the edge.

  • No fennel?

    Use celery. Keeps yield, but shifts the base flavor.

  • No pear?

    Use green apple. Keeps sweetness, but changes body and aroma.

Storage

Best for mild juices that are most enjoyable soon after pressing. For best flavor, enjoy the same day or within 24 hours. Shake gently if it separates, keep it cold, and discard questionable juice.

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