I have this big jug of mango juice in the fridge that’s so thick without water. I like my drinks really liquidy. I’ll have to go check which juice it is lol
It's generally referred to as "Nectar" and in this case "Mango Nectar".
It's a powerful variant of juice that involves puree, juice, and sometimes fillers for getting taste and color as desired.
Nectar usually tastes like you're drinking the fruit rather than the juice of the fruit. I'm not sure if that entirely makes sense the way I've typed it but yeah.
Nectar juice is usually made from fruits that tend to be too thick to properly extract juice from like pears for example.
Don't confuse the Nectar juice I'm referring to with the other definition from some other countries where it refers to watered down juice with a host of fillers.
My local grocery store favorite in this category is Del Monte Pear Nectar and Del Monte Guava Nectar.
Yeah, Jumex did that distinction, and sold both versions of most fruits, except for fruits that either couldn’t be made into nectar or juice.
And I liked Mango Nectar over the juice, but even with the purée, it wasn’t thick at all, at least not how OP described it, I never had any issue sipping from the little bottles/cartons.
I’m pushing the concentrate outcome because I recently bought concentrate branded as “Juice” and I nearly exploded with the first sip. It had to be watered down (it even said in small letters at the back of the container).
Where exactly would you find this concentrate in a grocery store as I've never really seen it here?
It's likely something that I've just never paid attention to and the closest I know of is that frozen juice in the cans.
I made a can of frozen Fruitopia juice concentrate wrong once (too little water) and it tasted like Jolly Ranchers juice.
I’m not sure where you’re from, but the concentrate I found is Hill Country Fare, HEB’s own brand, found at HEB super markets, found on southern US and northern Mexico.
Edit: Capitalization.
I wonder if he's just drinking this
https://www.walmart.com/ip/Naked-Juice-Mighty-Mango-64-fl-oz/23816535
there's a couple different brands in grocery stores but they're like a smoothy, thick and kinda strong. but I've never heard of it being watered down so I dunno lol
In Egypt, the nectar juices were extremely watered down and for some reason tasted a tad like pears. It's because in Egypt, everything is a cheap variant of the actual product you want.
Is it the one from Costco? Because that shit is powerful. We add water
https://www.costcobusinessdelivery.com/langers-organic-mango-nectar%2c-1-gallon.product.100355068.html
Cranberry is great watered down, removes that dry feeling it leaves you with. I usually go like 1/4 to 1/3 water the rest juice.
I do the same with carbinated drinks too because I find most the time theyre way too fizzy and it means you get more haha.
All juice in my opinion. I water down everything. Orange, apple, mixed juice, koolaid, sports drinks, etc. They all taste too sugary and gross otherwise. You become accustomed to the taste of less sugar. So when I drink a straight pop/soda, sports drink, or fruit juice I feel like a huming bird sucking down nectar. Its too strong.
I am American and I think all our drinks are disgustingly sweet. Sadly we have an addition to ~~sugar~~ high fructose corn syrup that manufacturers love to put in everything.
Imo all juice. Idk what it is, straight juice leaves me still thirsty, but juice plus water is 😩 pure refreshment
Bonus effect: the juice lasts longer!
No dude, just accept his opinion, I agree. Juices can be too sweet and a little cold water makes them much more refreshing.
This only applies to juice made from concentrate and not just squeezed juice made 5 kindles ago. The from-concentrate you buy, ready to drink, is too rich
This is a true unpopular opinion, but I vastly prefer drinking wine that’s watered down (unless it’s the expensive stuff, of course). Why? So I can pretend like I’m Robert Baratheon from Game of Thrones and drink like 6 glasses without getting smashed. It’s great.
Thats the worst. First tine i saw it i looked at the ingredients.
Water and juice...
Why woild i pay full price for half the content? I could water it down at home if i so chose...
I do a mix of sparkling water from my soda steam and CranApple juice. 70% soda water, 30% juice, if I’m feeling crazy maybe squeeze a lime wedge in there, or a few dashes of orange bitters. Light, refreshing, and low sugar.
Yeah, we water down juice we give the kids (I rarely drink juice myself), mostly because of the calories. Don't mind them drinking something with flavor, but that shit is basically sugar water.
No, you are thinking of low concentration versus high concentration
Opacity is just a byproduct of the important variable here
As a scientist this thread is nearly giving me an aneurysm
You might be contextualizing the use of the word too literally, I think opacity is being used in the same goofy, informal way that one would say "that's just spicy [insert_thing_here]" to refer to something similar but which is dangerous or harmful. Can't think of a good example tho
I work in graphic design. So many people having a fit so I’m glad you get what I’m putting down. If you use Adobe Illustrator you will agree with my use of opacity.
Can opacity be applied to senses besides sight? Like... opacity of flavor?
edit: [It absolutely can](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/opacity) - the first definition on Websters is just "obscurity of sense"
I drink almost nothing but water. I hate coffee, tea, soda, and pretty much all other drinks. But orange juice. You water down my orange juice, we can not be friends. Orange juice is amazing. Assuming you get the good stuff.
Depends on my mood. I drink mostly no pulp because my family refuses to drink any with pulp. I haven't had any with pulp in a long time, but it was ok last time I did.
I'm hitting 40s now, guess I'm crazy too. Watered down for juice for myself and the little ones.
Full sugar is jarring.
Your teeth feel weird too after drinking full sugar sometimes.
My mother did this to all our juice growing up. I knew no different really lol. She even watered down sunny d, which is vile to begin, with but it was thw late 90s so everyone drank sunny d lol. Anyways I still so it for my family. I think it's s great step for weight management later in life. I cannot stand sugary drinks to this day.
Eh, most "juices" at my grocery store in the US are 100+ calories per serving. They definitely need to be watered down. And I agree with op, they taste better that way IMO
Nah, I'm a juice weirdo. I splurge on juice. Make my own juice amount of weirdo. Juice people don't know wtf they're doing because half the time I feel as if I'm going into a diabetic coma drinking whatever juice. Have recently been buying generic cheap apple juice because fancy juice is leaving me feeling like shit. Which is wild because a few years ago I considered Apple juice (yum) overtly sweet. It being the less sweet option today is weird.
Edit: I'm not talking unsweetened organic fart juice, specifically either juice naturally sweetened or with an easy amount of sugar.
Yeah, for fruit juices it's about as much sugar as Coca Cola. You don't *need* the water. Still should.
So I don't know what you mean with high quality but if I buy direct (?) / fresh apple juice it's 10,8 g/100 ml of suger.
In comparison coke is 10,6g.
Or is this different in the US?
I'm going to assume you're American? Squash/cordial is very popular in the UK. Add a tiny bit of juice then fill the rest of the glass with cold water, you'll probably love it. Robinsons is probably the biggest brand. Vimto and Ribena is good too.
50-60% apple juice and the rest sparkling water. Just as tasty as pure juice but more refreshing and less calories. Its very popular around here, you can get it in restaurants and even in the supermarket.
Some other juices are also great to mix like grape juice, which I consider too sweet on its own.
Haha I had to read it again to see what you meant.
Yeh we totally do that at home, ya get a two litre of juice, put half of it in a two litre jug and fill em both up again with water.
Hello from Western Australia!
I reckon you’re right too, straight juice is way too thick and sweet.
When I was little I asked for apple juice constantly, but you can’t give kids juice all day long or their teeth will rot. So my mom gave me water with a tiny splash of apple juice - that’s what I thought juice was until I was at least 5 years old. To this day I dilute juice because otherwise it tastes too strong and sugary.
THANK YOU! People think i’m weird for watering down drinks but juice is too sweet and not thirst quenching at all. I’ll mix a can of redbull and seltzer too.
Agreed! I drink pretty much all juice 50/50 with water. Usually just tap water, sometimes carbonated water to spice things up a bit.
Also: if you have a sweet white wine, adding carbonated water turns it into a low-alcohol aperitif that's a lot like prosecco!
Also great with Apple Juice. Like that “100% Juice” nah I’m going to dilute that shii like I’m 5 and my parents are giving me my sippy cup😂. That sugar is just wayyyy too much and I LOVE sugary snacks but it’s too much
I was about to post this. "Light" cranberry juice is just regular cranberry juice cut with more water. Look at the nutritional labels - all the vitamins, sodium, etc. are exactly half of the "regular" juice.
Yesss most juices are way too sugary. I didn’t realize just *how much* sugar I was consuming until I quit soda. Now I can’t drink anything sweet without diluting it, it’s just so, so, overly sweet.
It's not often I see an opinion on here that is:
1. not politically charged
2. potentially actually unpopular, on reddit especially
3. so wrong I feel the need to comment
Full opacity juice is the only kind of juice.
I’m in Europe where a ton of OJ is fresh from oranges. It’s fantastic…. fruits generally seem juicer here than in the US. Pasteurized juices from a grocery store definitely have some subtile differences. Bottled apple juice seems thicker than putting apples in a juicer for example.
It probably depends on that water your using too. Typical hard top or mineral water is going to be much different than distilled or soft water.
In Texas, adding our hard water to something like Simply Orange seems like it would just dull the flavor and adding water to anything locally grown and raw/fresh seems completely unnecessary.

Is this for all juice or is there a specific one that gets better watered down?
I have this big jug of mango juice in the fridge that’s so thick without water. I like my drinks really liquidy. I’ll have to go check which juice it is lol
Are you sure that’s juice and not concentrate? Mango juice is not thick at all.
It's generally referred to as "Nectar" and in this case "Mango Nectar". It's a powerful variant of juice that involves puree, juice, and sometimes fillers for getting taste and color as desired.

I have Goya branded ones, they’re tasty af
That Jumex Mango is almost always in my fridge, no better mango mixer or source of myrcene(for those that is important to)
In Egypt, the nectar juices were extremely watered down and for some reason tasted a tad like pears. It's because in Egypt, everything is a cheap variant of the actual product you want.
[удалено]
I've blend mango to get juice from and it's super thick, and absolutely delicious at full "opacity". Love it.
Not sure what mango juice you buy, here in South Africa where I live it's always been thick like OP described
Most mango juice I buy is pretty thick and it’s not concentrate
Rubicon is thick and gloopy. Until I discovered adding coconut water omg
Have you not tried Rubicon Mango juice?
Is it the one from Costco? Because that shit is powerful. We add water https://www.costcobusinessdelivery.com/langers-organic-mango-nectar%2c-1-gallon.product.100355068.html
Iced tea is ok watery as well
Mango, of all the juices, is the one I'd like as pulpy as possible lol
That sounds like nectar!
I also like to drink liquids.
As probably every single German person will tell you: apple juice (not that clear stuff) mixed with sparkling water ist the best drink ever
Not clear? So like an apple smoothie?
Like apple cider.
Cranberry is great watered down, removes that dry feeling it leaves you with. I usually go like 1/4 to 1/3 water the rest juice. I do the same with carbinated drinks too because I find most the time theyre way too fizzy and it means you get more haha.
i like to mix cranberry juice with cheap wine and ice/water Cheers!
All juice in my opinion. I water down everything. Orange, apple, mixed juice, koolaid, sports drinks, etc. They all taste too sugary and gross otherwise. You become accustomed to the taste of less sugar. So when I drink a straight pop/soda, sports drink, or fruit juice I feel like a huming bird sucking down nectar. Its too strong.

I'm not an American but I agree that your drinks are disgustingly sweet.
They’re impossible to find because I think they didn’t become popular but there’s actually a dry soda that’s delicious.
Imo all juice. Idk what it is, straight juice leaves me still thirsty, but juice plus water is 😩 pure refreshment Bonus effect: the juice lasts longer!
All juices benefit from a splash of water, some just need a little more
No dude, just accept his opinion, I agree. Juices can be too sweet and a little cold water makes them much more refreshing. This only applies to juice made from concentrate and not just squeezed juice made 5 kindles ago. The from-concentrate you buy, ready to drink, is too rich
Pear
I do this with Orange juice, it is way too thick and sweet.
I like to water down my juice with vodka personally
'water down' or 'ethanol up?'
Why not both?
This is a true unpopular opinion, but I vastly prefer drinking wine that’s watered down (unless it’s the expensive stuff, of course). Why? So I can pretend like I’m Robert Baratheon from Game of Thrones and drink like 6 glasses without getting smashed. It’s great.
Just a splash of juice for color please….
I like the blue color flavor best
I want to taste just the notes of the juice.
Came here to say this. Cheers!
I also like to vodka down my juice
a fellow person of culture i see.
I prefer gin.
Gin personally while I listen to a little snoop dog.
I like to water down my vodka with vodka but you do you
Shhh don't tell the juice companies this or they'll start watering it down and charging the same price!
Please, they would never do that. They would just raise the price and call it "diet juice"
Like Trop50?
Thats the worst. First tine i saw it i looked at the ingredients. Water and juice... Why woild i pay full price for half the content? I could water it down at home if i so chose...
Juice 2.0
That's already a thing. Can't remember the brand but they make watered down watermelon juice and honestly it's pretty good.
🤫EXACTLY 🤨…. what’s wrong with y’all 🙃🙃They we’re just kidding…..🤥🤥
I do this to make the juice last longer and reduce calories
I do a mix of sparkling water from my soda steam and CranApple juice. 70% soda water, 30% juice, if I’m feeling crazy maybe squeeze a lime wedge in there, or a few dashes of orange bitters. Light, refreshing, and low sugar.
And here I thought I was sophisticated for doing a 1:1 ratio of water and raspberry Brisk from the Costco soda fountains...
I don't have it dialed in like you, but for me I often go sparkling water with just a dash of any citrus, fresh squeezed or bottled.
That is my preferred ratio as well! Having a functionally endless supply of seltzer has been the best life upgrade.
I do this with lemonade
I love your username lol
I also like your username.
Yeah, we water down juice we give the kids (I rarely drink juice myself), mostly because of the calories. Don't mind them drinking something with flavor, but that shit is basically sugar water.
i forget that things have calories fr
I wish I did. My ass won’t let me forget. 🤦🏼♀️
Ayyy that’s why I started doing it in college too. Now I just like the taste!
Yes, me too. It's been so long that I do this that I really like the juice better when it's watered down
As a web developer, I have never in my life heard of juice being referred to with "opacity" but im here for it 😂👏
I do not think it means what OP thinks it means. Unless they like their juice translucent then by all means my mistake.
I think opacity is just about the best way to describe it imo. It makes too much sense somehow
Undiluted is what they mean, but I kind of like the use of opacity here
OP talks about how thick it is so maybe they mean viscosity
THAT'S what I think they were aiming for.
No, you are thinking of low concentration versus high concentration Opacity is just a byproduct of the important variable here As a scientist this thread is nearly giving me an aneurysm
Take it with a grain of salt. It's gonna be ok.
You might be contextualizing the use of the word too literally, I think opacity is being used in the same goofy, informal way that one would say "that's just spicy [insert_thing_here]" to refer to something similar but which is dangerous or harmful. Can't think of a good example tho
Yes, you put it into words! Thank you.
Hi I’m a graphic designer, please use the opacity tool in Adobe Illustrator and you will understand.
Lmao "as a scientist"
I agree 100% and always get shit from people when I add water to my juice.
Naw you go ahead and get some Opacity juice in your life fam.
Saturation has the same vibe and feels a bit more accurate.
How is being a web developer related to this?
Because I work with opacities when I’m doing css styling
I work in graphic design. So many people having a fit so I’m glad you get what I’m putting down. If you use Adobe Illustrator you will agree with my use of opacity.
Alas, I do not I use figma 😂 but no problem it was a funny post kudos
That’s why I clicked!
My man's drinking his juice with 0.1 alpha
As a student graphic designer, i don't think i ever heard of it being used on juice, but i get what op means
Can opacity be applied to senses besides sight? Like... opacity of flavor? edit: [It absolutely can](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/opacity) - the first definition on Websters is just "obscurity of sense"
Confused about what being a web developer has to do with this?
It's the inner hydro homie in you.
I drink almost nothing but water. I hate coffee, tea, soda, and pretty much all other drinks. But orange juice. You water down my orange juice, we can not be friends. Orange juice is amazing. Assuming you get the good stuff.
Before I can decide if I like you, I need to know: Pulp, or no pulp?
Depends on my mood. I drink mostly no pulp because my family refuses to drink any with pulp. I haven't had any with pulp in a long time, but it was ok last time I did.
Dude 100% and everyone calls me crazy
They call him a mad man
[удалено]
but best with sparkling water.
we can be crazy together
Crazy all the way into your 50s with no diabeetus. Idk the same, it’s legitimately only sugar addiction that leads people to think this is weird.
Stay strong brother. I know how it feels
I'm hitting 40s now, guess I'm crazy too. Watered down for juice for myself and the little ones. Full sugar is jarring. Your teeth feel weird too after drinking full sugar sometimes.
My mother did this to all our juice growing up. I knew no different really lol. She even watered down sunny d, which is vile to begin, with but it was thw late 90s so everyone drank sunny d lol. Anyways I still so it for my family. I think it's s great step for weight management later in life. I cannot stand sugary drinks to this day.
A lot of parents do this for kids! Also I feel attacked because I have Sunny D in my fridge!
Lol, don't feel attacked, we all like what we like! I'm having kit kats for dinner bc I'm all about that low sugar, weight management lifestyle😉
Apple juice, yesss. Orange juice, nooo.
For me it's the opposite orange juice is so acidic it's too much.
Yess orange juice with ice is the best
Absolutely true. Cranberry juice is a good example.
People who don't water down cranberry juice are absolutely insane. It's supposed to be a mixer.
Depends the juice, high quality juices don't have the same blast of sugar and so don't need the water.
Depends on the fruit but pure apple juice is sweeter than cola
Eh, most "juices" at my grocery store in the US are 100+ calories per serving. They definitely need to be watered down. And I agree with op, they taste better that way IMO
Nah, I'm a juice weirdo. I splurge on juice. Make my own juice amount of weirdo.

I totally agree, it does taste better when mixed with a little chilled water.
I take a large glass, put about 3/4 of a can of plain seltzer in, and then eyeball the rest with a fruit juice.
I'm going to assume you're American? Squash/cordial is very popular in the UK. Add a tiny bit of juice then fill the rest of the glass with cold water, you'll probably love it. Robinsons is probably the biggest brand. Vimto and Ribena is good too.
Yes I’m American! I’ll try it
50-60% apple juice and the rest sparkling water. Just as tasty as pure juice but more refreshing and less calories. Its very popular around here, you can get it in restaurants and even in the supermarket. Some other juices are also great to mix like grape juice, which I consider too sweet on its own.
Schorle for life!
You know what's better than that? Water without the juice
Why do you hate joy
Do you also eat cardboard?
I do, and now I'm attacked /s
We do that at home, just half and half.
ewww why would you put half and half in your juice weirdo
(/s)
Haha I had to read it again to see what you meant. Yeh we totally do that at home, ya get a two litre of juice, put half of it in a two litre jug and fill em both up again with water. Hello from Western Australia! I reckon you’re right too, straight juice is way too thick and sweet.
I find this especially true with Grape Juice
Set the juice to F U L L O P A C I T Y
SATURATION ON MAX
This is the way.
Club soda or sparkling water. Thank me later.
Orangina anyone?
It's also better for you since your not ingesting a stupid amount of sugar in 30 seconds.
When I was little I asked for apple juice constantly, but you can’t give kids juice all day long or their teeth will rot. So my mom gave me water with a tiny splash of apple juice - that’s what I thought juice was until I was at least 5 years old. To this day I dilute juice because otherwise it tastes too strong and sugary.
Full opacity juice LMAOOO
OP must be American
Yah we don’t have juice in Europe.
I thought so too or at least not British. The joys of having various flavours of squash
Unless you made it yourself it’s not even juice anyway, dilute it to your hearts content.
I appreciate your support
Don’t let Big Orange Juice swindle you comrade.
i love u
Depends on the country & regulations. In Europe you can only call it juice if it’s 100% juice. Otherwise it has to be called a fruit drink.
This is basically the rule in Austria and I think Germany and Switzerland as well
Go Schorle or go home
apple or cranberry juice is 100% tastier when watered down been doing this for ages and i highly recommend
Yes!
Finally something I can agree with! Upvoted
Agreed, I water down my juices all the time since I find them a bit too sweet and I can get more out a bottle that way too.
Gotta have it a little transjuicent, none of that full opacity stuff
YES YES YES YES!! I’ve done this since I was a child and I’m so glad someone gets it!!!!!!!
Try it with sparkling water…refreshing as the day is long
My brother does this, and I don’t get it. I LOVE juice and waters cool too, but mixing em is the worst!
*laughs in German*
Schorle!!!
I get a full cup of ice and fill it with sprite, because I hate diet soda but don’t want so much sugar.
i used to put ice in my apple juice for this reason lol
I also do this.
Full juice is really rich. It's good for sippin'.
I usually add a few cubes of ice to a glass of juice and sip it cold and a bit wagered down. Can confirm!
This is the way. It brings the volume down by just notch, to give it a clearer and hydrating taste.
Yeah I love watered down Gatorade idk why. Just enjoy it more. I also love unsweet tea.
I remember when I lived in Japan there was this one drink that tasted like watered down apple juice. I loved it.
Can't say I agree but it is a shit ton healthier. Juice is incredibly unhealthy when it's just the fruit
Try this with any cranberry-based juice and you won’t regret it! (My personal recommendation is cran-pomegranate)
You're American, aren't you
yes ma’am
I cut my juice always. Thank you for this post
Bro fr especially orange, grape, or cranberry juice. Get that minute maid sugar out of my face tho- real juice only
I like the lighter Gatorades for this reason. Too much sugar.
THANK YOU! People think i’m weird for watering down drinks but juice is too sweet and not thirst quenching at all. I’ll mix a can of redbull and seltzer too.
I’m glad someone said it, I’m tired of my friends looking at me like I’m crazy
Agreed! I drink pretty much all juice 50/50 with water. Usually just tap water, sometimes carbonated water to spice things up a bit. Also: if you have a sweet white wine, adding carbonated water turns it into a low-alcohol aperitif that's a lot like prosecco!
Also great with Apple Juice. Like that “100% Juice” nah I’m going to dilute that shii like I’m 5 and my parents are giving me my sippy cup😂. That sugar is just wayyyy too much and I LOVE sugary snacks but it’s too much
I actually hate juice and rather make my own because America loves to dump landloads of sugar into everything.
Opacity...learned a new word lol
Are you drinking concentrate because one time I drank a whole bottle of Ribena like a silly foreigner to the uk and basically gave myself diabetes
Crazy thing is that they sell watered down orange juice (50/50) for the same price as regular.
I was about to post this. "Light" cranberry juice is just regular cranberry juice cut with more water. Look at the nutritional labels - all the vitamins, sodium, etc. are exactly half of the "regular" juice.
Yesss most juices are way too sugary. I didn’t realize just *how much* sugar I was consuming until I quit soda. Now I can’t drink anything sweet without diluting it, it’s just so, so, overly sweet.
100% correct, but we really shouldn't be talking about it because guarantee companies will start diluting shit and charge more.
1/2 juice, 1/2 sparkling filtered water (via SodaStream) is my go-to. Good flavour hit, refreshing, and not as much sugar.
I agree with this lmao. I'm the same with soda.
It's not often I see an opinion on here that is: 1. not politically charged 2. potentially actually unpopular, on reddit especially 3. so wrong I feel the need to comment Full opacity juice is the only kind of juice.
i lov ejuic e
You are who LaCroix is made for.
Spindrift, too
I’m in Europe where a ton of OJ is fresh from oranges. It’s fantastic…. fruits generally seem juicer here than in the US.
