While carbonated drinks were once the classic pizza pairing, aficionados of juice have discovered that a carefully selected juice can substantially enhance the pizza dining experience. At FernBrooklane, in collaboration with connoisseurs, we have curated juice suggestions that resonate with our pizza offerings. These pairings are perfect for anyone, whether you're enjoying a sit-down meal at our establishment or a takeaway at your abode, and will assist you in selecting the best juice for your preferred style of pizza.
Timeless Margherita: Tomato Basil Blend or Pomegranate Mixture
Given the Margherita pizza's unadorned toppings—ripe tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, and aromatic basil—a juice that respects these subtle tastes is needed. A house-prepared tomato basil concoction provides a refreshing tartness similar to the tomato while maintaining a robust framework against the cheese. On the other hand, a gentle pomegranate blend carries delicate red fruity undertones that amplify the tomato's sweetness and pair with the basil's fresh essence.
Our expert suggestion: Our Margherita goes wonderfully with our bespoke Tomato Basil Cooler or, if you prefer something sweeter, a pomegranate blueberry mixture sourced from local providers.
For Pepperoni and Meat Aficionados: Spiced Cherry or Blackcurrant Selection
Pizzas adorned with savory cured meats such as pepperoni, sausage, or prosciutto demand juices that have a substantial taste and a hint of spice to counterbalance the strong meat flavors. A spiced cherry juice brings a rich, fruity sweetness with a hint of heat that complements the savoriness and heat of meat toppings. Alternatively, blackcurrant juice presents a robust dark fruit flavor and a refreshingly tart finish that balances out the meaty richness.
Our specific pairing: Patrons particularly enjoy our homemade Spiced Cherry Elixir or the Organic Blackcurrant Supreme with our meat-centric pizzas.
Mushroom and Truffle Delight: Beetroot or Forest Berry Fusion
The complex, umami-laden tastes of mushrooms and truffles are best met with beverages that can mirror these nuances. Beetroot juice introduces a subtle earthy nuance that complements the flavors of mushrooms, while its natural sweetness tempers the savory element. A berry blend from the forest encapsulates a variety of berry flavors that reflect the deep, earthy essence of the pizza.
Our specific pairing: Opt for our Wild Mushroom pizza along with a choice of Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or a Wild Forest Berry Medley.
Seafood Symphony: Citrus Fusions or Sea Buckthorn
Pizzas with delectable toppings like prawns, scallops, or a variety of seafood fair match beautifully with vibrant juices that carry mineral notes. A citrus composite offers a refreshing zest that accentuates the seafood, while sea buckthorn juice delivers tropical flavors and appropriate acidity, without overshadowing the subtle tastes of the seafood.
Our specific pairing: Our Coastal Seafood pizza combines exquisitely with either our Citrus Splash or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Veggie Lover’s Feast: Green Detox or Cucumber Melon
Vegetable-laden pizzas present a multitude of flavors that are enhanced by versatile juices with herbal notes. Green detox juice, containing spinach, celery, and apple, echoes the flavors found in bell peppers, artichokes, and other veggies. Meanwhile, a cucumber melon concoction delivers a gentle freshness, and its light body complements the diversity of vegetables without being overpowering.
Our specific pairing: Our Garden Harvest pizza finds its match in the Daily Green Detox or a refreshing Chilled Cucumber Melon mix.
The Four Cheese Indulgence: Creamy Almond or Bubbling Apple
A pizza brimming with a quartet of cheeses calls for a drink that could either be complementary or contrasting. Creamy almond milk offers a comforting nutty taste that can heighten the cheese mix's akin flavors. Alternatively, effervescent apple juice with its vivacity and tartness provides a delightful contrast to the savory decadence of the cheese ensemble.
Our specific pairing: Our Quattro Formaggi goes hand in hand with either a Vanilla Almond Milk or a Fizzy Apple Crisp.
For the Heat Seekers: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
Pizzas with a fiery edge, courtesy of chili flakes, spicy sausage, or piquant honey, are best tempered with smooth or spicy juices. Mango lassi calms the palate with its creaminess, offering solace in between spicy bites. Additionally, ginger turmeric juice strides confidently beside spicy components and introduces a fascinating flavor juxtaposition with beneficial health properties.
Our specific pairing: Our Blazing Diavola finds its match in our own Mango Lassi or the invigorating Firefly Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Sweet Pizza Decadence: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond
For the bold who sample our Nutella and fruity dessert pizzas, sweet beverages are a must. Mixed berry smoothies are an exceptional complement to pizzas topped with fruit, whereas chocolate almond milk offers a divine combination with chocolate-hazelnut spreads. The key lies in the beverage being at least as sweet as the dessert pizza.
Our specific pairing: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza is divine when accompanied by a Triple Berry Blast or Dark Chocolate Almond Milk.
Guidance on Pizza and Juice Combinations
- Focus on the primary flavor of the pizza rather than solely on crust or sauce
- Juices high in acidity often complement tomato-based pizzas because of the inherent acidity of tomatoes
- Bubbly juices are a flexible option that suits almost any type of pizza
- Embrace experimentation—unexpected combinations might create the most memorable dining experiences
At FernBrooklane, our juice menu has expanded to feature many of these recommended combinations. Our staff is eager to advise on the ultimate juice selection to pair with your pizza choice. We also offer the chance to try a juice flight where you can sample three different juices with your meal.
It's good to remember that while these tips may guide you to harmonious combinations, individual taste prevails over any rules. The best juice for your pizza is, in the end, the one that gives you the most pleasure to drink!
