Citruses are so important in many different aspects of cooking, cocktail-making, and beyond! But, if you’re going to wing something and want to know how much juice to expect from your citruses, this the guide for you.
Lemons
Lemons are an awesome citrus that is necessary for so many different recipes, drinks, and more. A squirt of lemon can take a dish to the next level, but when you’re cooking or making cocktails, it’s hard to tell how much you can actually get out of it. The answer is an average of 2 tablespoons of juice, which isn’t a lot, unfortunately.
Limes
In comparison to lemons, limes do quite well for themselves! The average lime actually has the same amount of juice in it as a lemon, 2 tablespoons, and is usually easier in general to juice because of the thin skin.
Grapefruits
Grapefruits are not just a delicious way to start your day, they also provide incredible tart but refreshing juice! Have it as part of your breakfast or end your day with some mixed with tequila, it all tastes great. And, a medium-sized grapefruit will usually give you just about 1 cup of juice, which is so useful!
