While many still pair pizza with soft drinks, those who cherish juice know that an apt juice match can uplift the pizza dining experience to new tier. At ClearBrookLy, in partnership with local connoisseurs, we have devised juice selections that beautifully accompany our pizza range. Whether it's in the comfort of our eatery or at home, these pairing suggestions will aid you in choosing the ideal juice for your preferred type of pizza.
Simplistic Margherita: Juice of Tomato and Basil or Pomegranate Fusion
A Margherita pizza, characterized by its fresh tomato, mozzarella, and basil ingredients, pairs well with a juice that doesn't overshadow these subtle tastes. A self-made juice combining tomato and basil brings a vibrant tangy taste that harmonizes with the tomatoes while standing firm alongside the mozzarella. As an alternative, a pomegranate infusion delivers a refined fruity flavor that accentuates the tomato sweetness and complements the basil.
Our prime choice: Our Margherita is a delight when accompanied by our signature Tomato Basil Cooler or the sweet, locally sourced Pomegranate Blueberry Fusion.
Pepperoni and Meat Lovers: Spicy Cherry or Blackcurrant Juice
Pizzas topped with flavorful meats like pepperoni or sausage pair nicely with juices that have a robust character and a hint of spice. Juice made from spiced cherries, with its deep, fruity essence and a spicy kick, marries well with the savory and spiciness of the meats. A blackcurrant juice option, with its deep berry profile and tangy aftertaste, is an excellent alternative to cut through the greasiness of the meat toppings.
Our prime choice: Patrons frequently enjoy our homemade Spiced Cherry Elixir or Organic Blackcurrant Supreme with our meat-heavy pizzas.
Earthy Mushroom and Truffle: Beet or Mixed Berry Juice
The profound, savory flavors of mushrooms and truffle necessitate juices with a similar essence. Beet juice, with its understated earthy notes, is a perfect complement to the umami of these toppings, with a natural sweetness to balance the palate. A mixed berry juice also does wonders, presenting elaborate berry undertones that echo the fungal earthiness of the pizza.
Our prime choice: Try our Earthy Truffle & Mushroom Pizza with a glass of Cold-Pressed Beet Essence or a Wild Mixed Berry Concoction.
Seafood Delights: Citrus Medley or Sea Buckthorn Sap
Pizzas adorned with seafood such as prawns or clams are enhanced by crisp juices that evoke mineral tones. A mix of varied citrus fruits adds a refreshing zest that heightens the seafood's flavors, while the lively sparkle lightens up the taste. Sea buckthorn juice, known for its sharp acidity, tropical nuances, and subtle tartness, also pairs impeccably without overshadowing the delicate seafood flavors.
Our prime choice: Our Mediterranean Seafood pizza is sublime when paired with either our invigorating Citrus Medley or Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Verdant Veggie Special: Cool Green Detox or Cucumber Melon Water
Pizzas topped with an array of vegetables are exemplified by versatile, botanical juices. A green detox mix, combining spinach, celery, and apple, reverberates the tastes found in toppings such as bell peppers and artichokes. The invigorating lightness of cucumber melon water balances the vegetable flavors without drowning them out.
Our prime choice: Our Hearty Garden Delight pizza pairs seamlessly with either a Daily Green Cleanse or a Refreshing Cucumber Melon Draft.
Gourmet Four Cheese: Almond Cream Infusion or Fizzing Apple
The luxurious consistency of a four-cheese pizza demands a beverage that complements or counteracts its richness. An almond-based drink with its creamy texture and nutty scent brings out similar aromas in the cheeses. On the other hand, a sparkling apple beverage, with its vivacity and sharpness, slices through the cheesy opulence, offering a fruitiness that plays off the savory cheese flavors.
Our prime choice: Our Quattro Formaggi pizza goes exquisitely with our Vanilla Almond Infusion or a bottle of Sparkling Apple Fizz.
Fiery Pizza Creations: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric Potion
For pizzas spiced with chili, hot sausage, or fiery sweeteners, juices that offer coolness or resonate with the piquancy are much appreciated. The creamy body and cooling essence of mango lassi bring solace to the palate, while juice infused with ginger and turmeric provides an exciting contrast, and also touts anti-inflammatory perks.
Our prime choice: Our Flaming Diavola pizza is perfectly matched with our Homemade Mango Lassi or our Ginger Turmeric Elixir.
Sugary Pizza Delight: Berry Puree or Chocolate Almond Draft
For the bold palates venturing into dessert pizzas, like those topped with Nutella and fruit, sweet blends are essential. Berry purees accentuate the sweet tartness of fruit-covered dessert pizzas, and a chocolate almond drink is a divine companion for variations featuring chocolate and hazelnut. The balance lies in selecting a juice that matches or exceeds the dessert's sweetness.
Our prime choice: Our Nutella and Strawberry Dessert Pizza is heavenly when paired with our Triple Berry Smoothie or the Luxuriant Dark Chocolate Almond Potable.
