How this figure was derived
- Read from
- ~45 kcal / 100 ml
- Energy density
- 45 kcal / 100 ml
- Basis
- Per 100 ml — a volume. Applying it to a weight would be wrong.
- Example, at 30 ml
- 45 kcal / 100 ml × 30 ml ÷ 100 = ≈ 14 kcal
A planning figure, not a laboratory analysis. It is here so a recipe can be reasoned about, not so it can be declared on a menu.
Shelf life: Squeezed to order — at its best within minutes. Vitamin C and aroma oxidize fast; never batch it hours ahead.
Storage: Whole oranges: cool, ventilated, out of direct sun. The juice belongs in the glass, not the fridge.

- Citrus body for mint-lime sparkler and sparkling refreshers — soda goes in last, one gentle lift
- Orange–carrot and mixed fresh-juice blends
Wash and sanitize the fruit, halve, and squeeze on a clean press at order time. Strain to the house pulp level and serve immediately — no pre-squeezed batches.
Vitamin C oxidizes quickly after squeezing — squeeze to order. The natural acidity can wear tooth enamel; a straw and a sip of water after help. Juicing also loses the whole fruit's fibre.
