Hi all,
I have a small mobile coffee stand and would like to start offering fresh juice to customers. Problem is, I can't make the juice right on the spot (don't want to hold the line, not much room etc) and would rather pre-make it and either store it in dispensers or directly in cups. I do have a display refrigerator outside and was thinking to either pour the juice in cups as a "grab n go" item, or store it in dispensers (plastic or glass?) where the customer would slide the door and dispense into the cup. Another way I could do this is to have the juice in cups half buried in ice in one of those stainless steel "buckets", but again I don't know if that would be a good idea to store the juice for a day or 2-and if the ice will last for long when it's 70-80degrees outside. How long does fresh juice really last and what's the best way to serve it, other than juicing on the spot?
The best quality will come from storing the juice in glass bottles in a refrigerator or ice bath, or in vacuum bottles, like the famous Thermos brand. But they need to be sold same day.
