Although many consider pop to be the quintessential partner for pizza, those who adore juice are aware that a well-chosen juice can enhance a pizza meal. At BrackenMoor, we've joined forces with area specialists to curate juice recommendations that blend seamlessly with our selection. Whether you're indulging onsite or relishing our dishes at home, these selections will guide you to the ideal juice for your chosen pizza type.
Timeless Margherita: Tomato Basil Blend or Sweet Pomegranate Mix
A traditional Margherita pizza, with its bright tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, and aromatic basil, demands a juice that doesn't overshadow these gentle tastes. A specially prepared tomato basil mix matches the tomato flavor while maintaining a backbone robust enough to balance the cheese's presence. On the other hand, a slightly sweet pomegranate juice introduces delightful fruity flavors that play up the tomato's sweetness and harmonize with the basil.
Our premier suggestion: We advocate for the Margherita to be paired with our exclusive Tomato Basil Refreshment or, for a touch of sweetness, an artisan Pomegranate Blueberry concoction.
Pepperoni and Carnivore's Choice: Warming Cherry or Rich Blackcurrant
Pizzas abundant with savory meats like pepperoni or sausage need a juice with the depth and zest to match their pronounced notes. A warming cherry juice, characterized by its deep fruitiness and a hint of spice, perfectly counters the meats' salinity and zest. Or give blackcurrant juice a try, with its layers of dark fruit essence and a tart edge that slices through the meat's luxuriousness.
Our premier suggestion: Patrons especially favor our in-house Cherry Spice Potion or Pure Blackcurrant Supreme with our abundant Meat Feast pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle Delight: Beet Elixir or Mixed Berries
The rich, savory tone of mushrooms and truffles pairs splendidly with juices that share an earthy profile. A beetroot elixir delicately intertwines with mushroom flavors while its inherent sweetness counters the savory taste. A berry blend is equally suitable, its complexity partnering well with the earthy nature of the pizza.
Our premier suggestion: Our Wild Mushroom pizza is a match made with Fresh Beetroot Extract or a Blend of Forest Berries.
Ocean Harvest Pizza: Zesty Citrus or Tangy Sea Buckthorn
For pies adorned with crustaceans or mollusks, crispy, minerally juices are the ideal match. A combination of citrusy fruits showcases purifying qualities that highlight the oceanic flavors, alongside lively notes that brighten the entire eating experience. Sea buckthorn juice also shines with its pronounced tartness and exotic flavors, gentle enough not to mask the subtle seafood tastes.
Our premier suggestion: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza goes wonderfully with our effervescent Citrus Burst or all-natural Sea Buckthorn Elixir.
Vegetarian Feast: Cleansing Greens or Cool Cucumber Melon
Pizzas covered in an assortment of vegetables are complemented by adaptable juices with fresh herb notes. A cleansing green juice, incorporating spinach, celery, and green apple, reinforces and elevates the flavors of vegetables like bell peppers and artichokes. A juice that blends cucumber and melon provides a mellow freshness that stands up to the varied textures of vegetables without dominating them.
Our premier suggestion: Our garden-fresh pizza finds its perfect couple with our Daily Green Rejuvenator or a Subdued Cucumber Melon Cooler.
Quadruple Cheese Pizza: Gentle Almond or Effervescent Apple
The heavy nature of a pizza with four cheeses necessitates either a complementary or contrasting juice. A velvety almond drink introduces parallel nutty undertones that match those in the cheese blend. For a contrast, an effervescent apple juice is a great pick—its bubbles and tangy flavor cut through the cheese's richness, offering a sweet complement to the savory taste.
Our premier suggestion: Our Four Cheese pizza is splendid with our Smooth Vanilla Almond Beverage or a Bubbly Apple Twist.
Fiery Pizzas: Soothing Mango Lassi or Calming Ginger Turmeric
Pizzas with a kick from ingredients like chili or spicy sausages benefit from soothing, creamy juices. A calming mango lassi cools the mouth while its richness offers relief between bites. A ginger turmeric juice stands up to the heat and provides a novel taste profile in addition to its anti-inflammatory properties.
Our premier suggestion: Our Fiery Diavola pie harmonizes with our Signature Mango Lassi or Invigorating Ginger Turmeric Essence.
Dessert Pizzas: Berry Medley Smoothie or Chocolatey Almond
For those daring to sample our chocolate-hazelnut and fruity dessert pizzas, a sweeter juice is crucial. A mixed berry smoothie pairs well, complementing fruit-topped dessert pizzas, whereas a chocolate almond drink provides an exquisite match for chocolate-hazelnut varieties. The main consideration is that the beverage is at least as sweet as the pizza itself.
Our premier suggestion: Our Nutella and Berries Dessert Pizza is especially divine with our Berry Explosion Smoothie or Rich Chocolate Almond Milk.
Guidelines for Pizza and Juice Combining
- Focus on the predominant taste of the pizza, not just the crust or sauce type
- Acidic juices are typically a good match with pizzas that have a tomato base
- Bubbly drinks are versatile and suit almost any pizza variety
- Exploration is key—unexpected pairings can lead to the most enjoyable experiences
At BrackenMoor, we've updated our juice offerings to include a variety of these suggested pairings. Our knowledgeable staff is ready to recommend the ultimate juice to go with your pizza choice. We also feature juice tasting flights, giving you the opportunity to explore different combinations with your meal.
Although these guidelines are a good starting point for pairing, individual taste is supreme. The finest juice to accompany your pizza is, in the end, the one that pleases your palate the most.
