For future blind taste tests it’d be fun to see you do a triangle test. 3 drinks. 2 are the same, 1 is different. You have to identify the odd man out AND guess which is which. You could make 2 of each drink and have your wife select 3 for you. Much more challenging because you have a 1/6 chance of guessing correctly vs 1/2.

@@thargor2k exactly. A tasting with only two samples is also easy to manipulate. Where i live people like one brand of beer and hate the other one, which is a bit bigger, bit more industrial and therefore a little bit more bland and less bitter. People always argue that our beer tastes better because its more bitter. Now in a blind tasting i would always include a beer thats even more bitter than the one from our region and they would consistently go for the most bitter one, not the familiar flavor.

Hey Steve, I saw a video from Darcy at the ArtOfDrink channel a while back and he had mentioned how the wait for the Oleo Citrate is unnecessary. That as long as you have the ingredients in the blender long enough that the blender does all the work of extracting the oils for us. I was convinced when I did it side by side and I highly recommend you try it too. It's saved me so much time and cleanup by just tossing everything into the blender instead of waiting.

I did this, I just blended the peels down quite small but not obliterated. My 2 take aways were that this was a little more bitter than squeezed juice - like if you don't have enough juice in your limes so you stack the peels in the squeezer to get that last few mil and it is clearly mostly peel oil. I also felt that this juice left a film on my tongue - could be tantamount to the same thing. I want to experiment with leaving it mescerate to see if this provides better ballance 🤷♂️

In my experience, the fun thing about superjuice is that you actually use the original juice to make it. Here in Japan I get sudachi, shiquensa, green lemons, tangerines, and other cool citrus fruits--I mix most of them with citric and malic acid to simulate lime juice, but each batch ends up tasting different precisely because the real juice included greatly affects the final flavor. Better than a cordial in my opinion.

I use a tweaked version of this recipe that come out great for my taste preferences. I multiply the peels by 18-20 to get my water, as I have found that to taste more natural and less "candy like." I also cut the sugar in half and add 1% ascorbic acid (as a baker's percentage of the water). When prepping, I add the peels, all dry ingredients, and 10% of the water to a blender and let sit for 30 min. After that, I add the rest of water, blend, and fine strain with cheesecloth.

Curious about fridge life too - theoretically should be longer than the ~1 week of super juice at least since it doesn't have the juice in there to oxidize, but on the other hand could be more prone to mold since you're putting a bit of sugar in, especially the case if you didn't carefully wash the fruit first. For freezing it seems like the best approach would be to get some 1/2oz / 15ml ice cube trays and freeze it that way, then you can just pull out what you need and thaw it. It's mainly water so it should freeze pretty well, probably want to freeze and then transfer to a ziploc or something (or cube trays with lids) to keep any off flavors from the freezer getting into the cubes.

I'm a little dubious about the inclusion of sugar being the key difference here... 60g of sugar per liter is pretty inconsequential to a sour, especially since one of the ingredients is a 50 brix syrup. Maybe it would matter in a Ranch Water, but that's nothing a barspoon of simple wouldn't solve. Instead, I'd imagine this is better because of the lower yield. This triples the yield instead of octupling, making it more aromatic due to the higher amount of oil by volume. Not that anyone asked, but I similarly aim for tripling or quadrupling my yield of super juice, but instead of table salt, I add buffering salts to round out the Sour Patch Kids quality of citric acid or the bilious quality of malic acid. 10-15% the weight of the acid in sodium citrate / magnesium malate does wonders to soften corners.

I'm currently in Califonia, and I pay .25 cents a lime, Itakes between 15 to 20 limes to make a liter.

You could make 3.5-5 litres of pseudo juice with those limes! Or just buy 4 to make 1 litre.

Why on earth limes are so expensive in australia? The climate there is definately appropriate for growing it. Maybe it's a seasonal thing? Luckily in my country we pay around 1 dollar per kilo year round, sometimes even less if you're buying at a farmer's market, sometimes more if you're at a fancy market, but I've never seen it go beyond the usd 2.00 / kg mark. Cant wait to try your method, thanks!

Both Citric and Malic acids are powerful antioxidants, so they really should keep the actual juices from going bad, if you decide to add those into the mix. But what would happen if you grate the zest instead of slicing the peels off? And what if you add more zest/peel to the mix? Surely that would make for a better result?
@StevetheBartender_

Grating the zest makes it more challenging to strain… adding more zest will extract more essential oils perhaps making it too potent? 🤷♂️

Hey Steve! Love your channel. Just wanted to ask, I’m in Aus (NSW) and wondering how and where you get some of your alcohols, bitters etc!?! I watch all of your videos and always look up some of the alcohols or bitters (eg. Ms betters bitters foamer in this case) and always struggle to get it in aus like from Dan Murphy’s or something. I’ve wanted to try the Rittenhouse Rye for so long after watching some of your whiskey videos and Dan Murphy’s never seem to have stock. Any places you recommend to order alcohols and stuff like that from?? Thanks so much mate, good to see you healthy and always happy! Keep it up ! 😊

Nup, this has 6g of sugar per 100ml so only 1.35g of sugar per 3/4 oz measure. Lemons and limes do have a little bit of sugar (but only 1/4 of this recipe).. it does help round the juice out though. I recommend trying it.

Should you not be adding a lot more sugar? Lemon juice is actually quite sweet if you disregard the acidity, as in there is quite a bit of sugar in it.

@@StevetheBartender_ Hm... You were wrong the first time i did the math.... Anyhow... 30 g / 500 g of water is roughly 6 g / 100 g, which is how this is usually indicated on labels. My quick visit to Google university indicates that the USDA says 7 g / 100 g for lemon juice. So the recipe seems kind of spot on. Which might be why it works. The Superjuice would be much lower in sugar, since it is diluted with water, but only acids (and aromas from the peels) are added. Coca Cola is around 10 g / 100 g for comparison.

Very interesting. From what I gather, the cost of living in Australia seems to be comparatively high as it is, and the "transformation" agendas being pushed by the usual crooks surely don't help. Anyway, just out of curiosity, have you considered planting a few lime/lemon trees yourself? Would the climate at your place support that? Or are you too busy as it is? Just wondering because I recently happened across a Tiki KZitemr who does just that in his back yard. Cheers! 🥂

I don't get it. This is essentially the same spec I've been using for years and calling it "super juice". This is just an ever so slight variant. Also - If you want to elevate the super juice a bit more, you can use a GRAS essential oil to amp up the aromatics. I've been doing that and it makes a big impact.
