Have your veggies, fruit, and drink your healthy cocktail too with these 3 deliciously fresh juice cocktail recipes!
We’re keeping these juice cocktails easy and healthy with zero added sugar – it’s just the fresh juice from the fruit and a spirit!
It’s amazing how sweet and delicious these drinks are using unique fruit and veggie combinations. We also added just a tad of sugar along the rim! Totally optional but we loved having a dash of sweetness.
The green juice is super spicy, which I LOVE, and has tequila in it. The pineapple blend has a good chunk of ginger in it, some lemon juice and we added some rum to it for a more tropical taste!
And the strawberry juice combo is absolutely delicious with apples, pears and limes and we added gin for this one.

You’ll need a juicer to juice vegetables and fruit for your cocktails.
We used our KitchenAid juicer for perfect juices, but these can easily be cold-pressed juices if you have a cold press juice machine and prefer that method better.
Healthiest Spirits
Here is a list of the spirits that have the lowest sugar, calorie count per serving, and the most health benefits. You can add these into your fresh juiced, healthy cocktails.
- Vodka
- Tequila
- Gin
- Whiskey
- Rum
What is the healthiest cocktail?
If you’re ordering a cocktail at a bar or restaurants the healthiest cocktails to order are vodka soda, gin and tonic, Paloma, bloody mary or a martini.
If you’re making cocktails at home, our fresh vegetable and fruit cocktails are healthy as you’re getting a serving of fruit and vegetables with no added sugar. The only sugar in these drinks comes from the natural sugar in the fruits and vegetables as well as a small amount in the spirits.
How to Make a Fresh Juiced Cocktail
- Follow our recipe and the juicer’s guide to juicing below. Once the fresh-pressed juice is made, add 3/4 cup fresh juice with 1-ounce spirit in a cocktail shaker with ice.
