Let’s get started!

Ingredients For Strawberry Orange Juice

So, here are the ingredients you’ll need to gather (and their proportions).

• 2 cups of chilled orange juice – (ideally freshly squeezed because it tastes the best)
• 1 cup of chopped strawberries  – (fresh or frozen is fine – we like to use organic ones, free of nasty pesticides)
• Sweetener to taste – (such as maple syrup, sugar, or artificial sweetener)
• A little optional chaat masala to taste – (this is a spice blend that adds salty, funky, and sour flavor)
• As many ice cubes as desired – (crushed or whole)

We also like to throw in some additional strawberries as a pretty garnish and possibly some sugar lining the rim of the grass.

Method For Making Strawberry Orange Juice

Here’s how to make it:

1. If you’re using freshly squeezed orange, begin by juicing your oranges ahead of time until you have two cups worth of orange juice, then leave it to chill in the refrigerator. You can use either a manual or an electric juicer for this.

2. While the orange juice is chilling, put the chopped strawberries in your high-speed blender or food processor and purée them with your chosen sweetener until they are smooth.

3. Pour the orange juice into two serving glasses before pouring in the strawberry purée.

4. Add in the option chaat masala if using, along with any ice you want to add.

5. You can serve it immediately if desired, or it will keep fresh in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

6. We think it looks cute layered, with orange juice on the bottom and strawberry purée on the top, or you can give it a good stir to mix the flavors.

7. Garnish as desired, and serve immediately.

How Best To Store Your Strawberry Orange Juice

Strawberry orange juice tastes best when served cold, so we recommend you store your drink in the refrigerator for the first two days. If you want it to last longer, you can store it in the freezer. Here’s what you need to know:

Tips And Tricks For The Perfect Strawberry Orange Juice

Here are some handy tips and tricks for you:

• You can replace the freshly squeezed orange juice with store-bought orange juice if you don’t have a juicer.

• To make an even smoother drink, you can pour the strawberry purée through a fine-mesh strainer.

• Experiment with different amounts of orange juice and strawberry blend until you get the perfect balance of flavor for your particular taste.

• Similarly, you can also experiment with the amount of sweetener used to your particular taste.

Different Variations And Optional Add-Ins You Can Try

There are several different ways that you can change the taste of strawberry orange juice, such as by adding one or more ingredients. Here are some ideas for you:

• Other fruits: fruits such as raspberries, pineapple pieces, mango, peaches, and apples also go really well with the other ingredients.

• A mixer: You can dilute the drink with some tap water, tonic, coconut water for a tropical feel, or sparkling water for a little fizz.

• Salt: This adds a real depth of flavor to the drink. 

• Fresh herbs: Mint leaves and even basil leaves really go well with this drink.

• Alcohol: If you want to convert this juice drink into an adults-only alcoholic drink, then you can do so by adding the likes of vodka, white rum, Malibu, and so on.

• Sweetener: As mentioned earlier, you can use a choice of sweetener in this recipe, so that’s another element to experiment with.

• Lemon or lime juice: Adding citrus juice adds tartness to the beverage.
