Would strongly recommend adding the associated buffering salt for each acid -- sodium citrate and potassium malate. Adding both prevents the citric acid from tasting like sour patch kids and malic acid from tasting like vomit. I use about +/- 15% the weight of the acid in buffering salt.

Very interesting. I've been using the Kevin K method for a while and thought it was pretty good. I'll have to try a different method next time.

[@kwabrams]

I think that Kevin’s method does not measure the lime juice because the super juice is meant to mimic lime juice. So, in theory, the variation in juice amount per lime shouldn’t alter the final product. I don’t know if that’s true, but I think that’s the theory.

[@Lord_Szatan]

He measures total weight of the "mixtures" and add proportional amount of water, so in the end lime juice is being measured, or more precisely, it weight is being considered

[@SirCoran]

He doesn’t because it’s pointless, lime juice is already perfect lime juice. Even without juice added it’s supposed to taste like lime juice

[@asherdupree5450]

Been using the Kevin Kos recipe for the bar I work at for about a year now and one thing I've learned is that Kevin doesn't let it sit for long enough. 2-3 hours at room temp with the occasional shake and agitation will yield a lot more oil before you have to blend.

I started out doing the Kevin Kos recipe. It was good, but these days I use the Brian Tasch Pseudo Citrus (his term for the recipe). I find the balance better than the others. Also, I do add the juice of the citrus into the final batch, as long as it has good flavor. As I recall, Brian's reason for not using the actual citrus juice was because there tends to be so much variability. That doesn't bother me, unless the citrus is starting to get old and the juice flavor is weird (I notice this more with limes than lemons).

I tried the Kevin Kos recipe a few times and found it lacking in citrus flavor also. I made the Nickle Morris recipe the last time and I think it turned out much better. I might try Brian's recipe the next time I do such preparation.

[@WinterAyars]

Supposedly, Nickle Morris used mass spectrometry to determine his acid ratios. Interesting that he didn't also include potassium and sugar and whatever else is found in citrus juice but maybe he just wanted it to be simple to make rather than trying to exactly, chemically reproduce lime juice. I have found that different peelers result in pretty different amounts of pith vs peel when peeling the citrus. I found that my OXO potato peeler does a lot better at this than the one intended for bar use, getting much thinner slices with less pith. Conversely, if i'm slicing a bit of lemon for garnish i want the deep cuts from the bar peeler. IN THEORY, adding the juice should be "neutral" to the overall flavor. The oxidation (or whatever breakdown) of the juice long term is the downside, but you shouldn't need to worry how much juice you're putting in vs other ingredients. Think of it this way: you're trying to replicate the citrus juice. If you do this correctly, there should be no difference between the squeezed juice and the "superjuice" you created so you can mix them in whatever ratio you like and it'll still be the same end product. It's just the shelf stability that matters.

[@ojkasper]

I do not quit recognice the results you get with the Kevin Kos recipy, and I think you might have made some measurement mistakes. When I make daquires with his lime juice, the lime is very much front and center. I noticed a few possible errors in your video, but I can't be sure since there is some parts we don't see. Kevin Kos' recipy is measured purely from the weight of the peel and I noticed that you went very deep in your peeling, almost into the flesh of the fruit. That means that you are gonna get a lot more weight than intented for the recipy. It also kinda shows in the enormes volumes the recipy ended up with. I don't know how many limes you used, but when I fx make a portion with two limes, I usually get close to 0,5 liters of super juice. Hope this helps and thanks for your videos, you are one of my fevorites!

Great video. Love when you pros do tests like this. I do this on my home scale as well, but much smaller scale obviously I did end up in a bit of a rabbit hole on this one though. Sorry for the rant. Especially about the citric to malic acid ratio. I saw this KZbin video where Nickle Morris expressed surprise that people were adjusting his recipe to a 2:1 ratio of citric vs malic acid. I then also wondered why one would do that. This 2:1 ratio is probably copied from a Dave Arnold recipe. His book Liquid Intelligence is a treasure trove of KZbin video content subjects. In the book he uses a 4:2 citric to malic ratio in his recipe for “Lime Acid”. Which is supposedly like lime juice, but without any lime in it. He also “lime acid” corrects everything to the same 2:1 ratio. Averaging a bunch of scientific papers measuring acids in lime juice, I found it’s more like 62g/l of citric and 5.7g/l of malic acid (ie a 11:1 ratio). So even half as much malic as Nickle Morris uses. Since I only have to cater for my “home bar”, I personally like to zest the limes instead of slicing the peel. Zest gets me much less pith and allows for the extraction to be done without using a blender. I feel blendered peels results in a specific flavor, which is slightly different from actual lime juice. Also, I don’t weigh the peels, but go off the number of limes. When I see people slicing the peels, sometimes they get no pith on it and in other cases it’s cut all the way to the fruit (same in your video). With such a big inaccuracy, multiplying the peel weight does not look like it correctly relates to the actual amount of essential oils in the peel. Besides it makes no sense to start out with the weight of the peels. One normally aims for a certain volume of super juice. Starting with 100g of peels gives you this comic issue that you need to somehow blender almost 2 liters. I make 250ml of super juice and for that I need 2 limes (of about 75g each). ie one quarter of Nickle Morris recipe. Usually enough to get me through the week. Or a I make a bigger bottle if there is a party. I actually started out with Jeffry Morgenthaler‘s lime cordial recipe as sort of a super juice (before super juice was actually a thing). It’s a 1:1 simple lime syrup, so it’s even easier to create a quick Daiquiri or Margarita from that. It does taste somewhat different from actual lime juice though, but he never presented it as a lime juice replacement per se anyway. I never tried the recipe from Brian Tasch (Corpse Revived. I was worried that such a low percentage of sugar might cause the juice to ferment rather quickly. Same reason why people don’t add in 1 to 1.7g of sugar in the super juice. As is the percentage of sugar in lime juice. His recipe is also quite low on peel to liquid, but seeing how you say it’s enough lime forward, perhaps that is overcome by the extra extraction from the sugar (and relatively the most acids of the three). Really have to try that one out.

[@tn_onyoutube8436]

"I did prefer the fresh" "The casual drinker won't notice" It's only a matter of time before a mass-produced super juice company exists, and we've just recreated the fake-juice industry where bar programs across the country are buying Super Juice that are "8-12% Real Juice + Additives and Preservatives" sold under the veil of waste reduction and cost savings. I've never been a Super Juice fan essentially for this reason. The "average casual drinker" can't even taste the difference if youre using Pericone or any similar pasteurized product. The average casual drinker cannot discern what exactly is a Skinny Margarita vs a Classic margarita. At the end of the day they're just going to ask for whatever drink "less sweet" anyway. Is it fresh juice? Well yeah, about 12% of it is...the rest is science of (natural) additives and preservatives.

Yeah a month is def good, but you can make as much or little as you want, too! I think each lime has been yielding us about 10g of peel, and then you're adding the 100mL H2O plus the 25mL lime juice (plus acids and pinch of salt), so per lime you get about 3-4oz of super juice.

The amount of time and effort it took to make 750 ml of something that would be used so quickly just wasn't worth it for me. It took almost an hour to peel and juice 40 or so limes, and then having to constantly buy citric and malic acids... It was easier and more cost effective to just buy high quality lime juice.
