If you have a juicer, or you just love fresh fruit juice, you may start to think about how you can incorporate it into more than just breakfast. For example, an evening cocktail with some friends or alone is a perfect use for that juicer. To help get you started, here are some unique and yummy cocktails that are made with fresh fruit juice.

Peach Moon

Named for its unexpected combo of peach schnapps and Blue Moon Belgian Ale, the only unrepresented ingredient in the title of this drink is the juice. It uses three shots of freshly squeezed orange juice, perfect for those without any tools because citrus fruits are pretty easy to squeeze by hand. If you have a sieve, try to strain out the pulp before serving.

Pineapple-Watermelon Cocktail

This sweet-and-spicy sensation from Perpetually Hungry is perfect for summer. It uses two of the sweetest summer fruits, pineapple and watermelon, as its juice base. All you need after juicing your fruit is a little jalapeño and some vodka!

Paloma Cocktail

This cocktail is another citrus-heavy marvel, making it again not too difficult to juice. Juicing by hand is more difficult because you’ll be juicing large red grapefruits, but you don’t need an electric juicer either. In addition to grapefruit, you’ll also juice some lines. Add in tequila, club soda, and agave for a citrusy, summery treat!
