Let’s dive into this simple, yet flavorful recipe that epitomizes everything we stand for at Zoyaaz – creativity, family bonding, and the joy of sharing delicious experiences.

Ingredients

• 2 cups seedless red or green grapes
• 1 cup strawberries, hulled
• 1 cup blueberries
• 1 cup raspberries
• 1 cup cold water
• 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for sweetness)
• Ice cubes (for serving)
• Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Begin by thoroughly washing the grapes and berries under cold running water. Pat them dry with a clean towel to remove excess moisture.
2. Place the grapes, strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries into a blender. Pour in the cold water.
3. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and the fruits are completely pureed, about 2 to 3 minutes.
4. If you prefer a sweeter drink, add the tablespoon of honey and blend again until fully incorporated.
5. To achieve a smooth juice, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large pitcher, pressing down with a spoon to extract every bit of liquid.
6. Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the strained juice over the ice. Add a fresh sprig of mint leaves for a vibrant garnish and extra freshness.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy the natural flavors of this invigorating juice.

Helpful Tips and Variations

• If you don’t have fresh berries, frozen ones work equally well and are conveniently available year-round.
• For a zesty twist, add a splash of freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice.
• Serve in a chilled glass for an extra refreshing experience, especially on warm days.
• To make this juice even more festive, garnish with a mix of whole berries on top.

Storage and Substitutions

• Refrigerate any leftover juice in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Shake or stir well before serving again.
• Substitute honey with agave syrup or maple syrup for a different sweetness profile, or leave out the sweetener for a naturally tangy drink.
• If grapes are out of season, substitute with pomegranate seeds for a unique flavor shift.

Pairings and Complements

The Grape Berry Juice pairs wonderfully with light snacks and desserts. Consider serving it alongside a cheese platter with mild cheeses and crackers, fresh veggie sticks with hummus, or even a simple sandwich. For something sweet, it complements pastries like scones, muffins, or fruit tarts beautifully.
