Strained soursop pulp with coconut water is out of this world!  And then for me comes fresh-squeezed OJ, apple cider (blend of various varieties), grape juice (fermented is good, too!), and fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice.  Honorable mention to sugar cane juice, lemonade, limeade, and lassi made with lime (Indian yogurt drink).

I need to start drinking juices :) and not fruits when fruits are not in season. If we are talking about pure juice without sugar, without leche(dulce de leche style), without a pinch of salt and lemon then I guess juice directly squeezed from best tasting mangoes, citrus, sugarcane, pineapple and pomegranate would be my favorites. I have never juiced here but when i travel to Nepal we have street-side shops where fresh fruits are juiced - the sugarcane with lemon, ginger and salt is very good....mango lassi i had in India was also very refreshing.

Cupuaçu
Soursop
Cajá (Spondias mombin... yellow mombin?)
Açaí, especially with a bit of lime squeezed in there
Mango

Cashew fruit juice is also great, but you have to get the right pulp/water/sugar balance. I recently tried cubiu (Solanum sessiliflorum, aka cocona) juice for the first time and thought it was very refreshing. We saved some seeds to plant in the back yard.

Phalsa (Grewia Asiatica) should earn an honorable mention, I tried a syrup from an Indian grocery store and liked it very much. Sort of a vaguely blueberry blended with other berries flavor, some sweetness but moderate tartness. I grew it after tasting it. Plant grew like a weed and got fruits the same year but I think you would need a fairly tall and wide 100 foot long hedge for it to be worth the trouble. I think it would grow into USDA climate zone 8. Could be an easy to grow blueberry substitute. Seeds were larger and harder, I spit them out. I had the plant out in full sun in poor soil with no irrigation and it thrived but took too much space.
 It was really nice when I tried it after miracle fruit. It might divert animal and bird attention away from more desirable fruit, the mockingbirds really seemed to like it. If I had acreage I would plant some out.

Mayhaw is another relatively unknown fruit that makes a great juice/preserves when sweetened but I don't think it will grow this far South. My all time favorite for jam.

1)Sugarcane juice with Calamansi juice as an antioxidant, prevents browning of juice

2)Watermelon juice with Meyer lemon juice as antioxidant and pomegranate juice for added flavor, color and antioxidants. Add a pinch of sea salt to increase perception of sweetness

3)Fresh squeezed Valencia Orange, Moro Blood orange, Oro Blanco grapefruit, Gold Nugget Tangerine or Tango Tangerine juice

4)Fresh Coconut Juice

5)And one of my favorites that I accidentally created was fresh squeezed Mango juice combined with fresh Cherimoya juice. I only got a small sip of this juice and it was created unintentionally when I was cutting up a bunch of cheap Kent or Haden fruit to collect their seeds and I used the same plate to cut up some cherimoya. The juice got combined and when I slurped it up, it was like nectar from the gods! I just wish I had more than a small sip of it.

If you like dates, go to 7 hot dates and order wet dates.  They arent quite in season yet but when they are, you will be blown away by them.

Favorite health juice is celery + ginger. Lots of ginger.
https://www.amazon.com/Medical-Medium-Celery-Juice-Worldwide/dp/140195765X

I juice watermelon rinds along with some ginger and lime. Very refreshing in the summer.  Seedless watermelons have a higher proportion of rind so if you don't juice the rind you are wasting money/ Though I bought seeded too this summer.
Green Star juicer is my primary, though I have back ups.

I buy fresh apple cider in the fall. This product used to be non-heat treated, so it was better for you with natural ferments. These days it gets zapped. Hot apple cider with cinnamon is delicious in cold northern weather and even in Florida sometimes.

I was a little apprehensive about going to that site.I was concerned it may burn my eyes but I was pleasantly surprised. I really like Halawy dates. I usually make an order from Dateland Arizona during the holidays but I will give these folks some new business :)

https://7hotdates.com/type-halawy.html

What's the difference between firm-pack and wet-pack dates?

In addition to differences according to cultivar, there is a natural range in moisture content within each cultivar's harvest. In the webshop, this range is offered as "wet-pack" and "firm-pack."

Wet-pack dates are the moistest and softest of that cultivar's harvest. Firm-pack dates are still quite soft, with a tender chewiness. Wet-pack dates can smoosh into each other; firm-pack dates tend to hold their shape.

While all dates keep well when stored as recommended, in the absense of chilling, dates with lower moisture content last longer.

For this reason, the Canada shop offers only firm-packs: tender dates that can handle the longer transit to Canada. If you would like the gooiest dates anyway and are willing to accept the risk of spoilage, contact the Bautista Family with your special request.

The wetpack are gooeyier (sp?), stickier and sweeter than drypack.  Far better in my opinion.  I have been ordering from them for years and they never disappoint.  The Khadrawy and Honey dates are amazing!  You can order sample boxes with three types in one box.  I usually do a full box of Medjool and a sampler of the aforementioned two plus Halawy.  If you like dates, you will eat them before they go bad.  They are the Lays Pitato Chips of the fruit world.  Lol

A local man comes to town once a week to deliver frozen fruit pulp to his customers. More common stuff such as passion fruit, pineapple, guava, and acerola is almost always available, with cashew, soursop, cupuaçu and Suriname cherry more seasonally. Last week his uvaia fruits had matured, and we enjoyed a really refreshing uvaia juice with lunch on Sunday. I don't remember liking it so much, perhaps he had a different variety from what I'd tried before. Anyway, uvaia moved up quite a few notches on my list.
