Dilute juice - water or juice first?

[Rach224]

Just trying to end a debate!!!!

Dilute juice… do you add the water first or the juice?

Personally I add the water first, then the juice. I can confirm that this he caused a debate. A large debate.

Squash or cordial first then the water. You are watering it down. Otherwise you'd be squashing down the water.

It's not juice.... that's a different thing altogether.

If OP is Scottish it most definitely is 'diluting juice'.

Call it 'squash'' or (clutches Scottish pearls) 'cordial' in Scotland and you'd get looked at funny. (Or as pp says called a numpty)

All soft drinks are juice in Scotland

Diluting juice
Fresh juice
Fuzzy juice

I do juice first, but all these modern super concentrated ones confuse me.

Squash first. It doesn't mix properly otherwise.

Squash then water

Squash, ice then water

Do you mean cordial? Juice first

Juice first and then add the water.

Water then juice

Juice first for 2 reasons
1/ You know how much juice you are adding as you cannot tell the other way round
2/ It doesn't mix properly if you add the juice in second unless you put it all in a small food processor or something

Ah, diluting juice is a Scottish thing 😁

Juice then water

Juice first unless you have a weird tap (like our current kitchen one) that for some reason makes it all foam up when the water hits the juice. I’ve reluctantly had to reverse my process.

Also it’s diluting juice, never squash :p

im a Scot in England and one else believes me when I call fizzy juice, well, fizzy juice!! I feel seen

Juice then water

Juice then water but I do add cereal to milk. I like crunchy cereal floating on top. I know everyone thinks it's weird.

Orange squash that I am making for someone else (eg jug at a party), squash then water.

Lime cordial that I am doing for myself, water then squash.

Water first for me too OP!
I find it easier to judge the strength that way. DH does it the same too!

I feel like this is bonkers now but I just decide to do it either way depending on if I’m closer to the sink with the water or the cupboard with the juice.

example, clean glass is in the dishwasher (under sink and to the left slightly) or on the draining board (to the right of the sink) I will put water in first as I’m near the sink. I will then walk across the kitchen to get the juice/cordial/squash
if however I get a glass from the glass cupboard, which is above the cordial/squash cupboard I will put the cordial/squash whatever you want to call it in the cup first then go to the sink.

makes absolutely no difference in my mind. I’m very lazy clearly.
work smarter not harder 😂

I know that some people call squash juice, but we also drink "juicy water", which is orange juice in a big glass or a pint glass (about a third) topped up with water. It's nice, more thirst quenching than juice, but more interesting than water without being too sweet.

Ha the juice for everything thing was one of the first 'lost in translation' moments between me and English DH!

But yes juice first for diluting juice!

Juice first then water.

Ice then juice then water

Lol that's brilliant.
