I started making Plum Orange Juice after realizing I had a few plums getting really soft in the fridge and some oranges that needed to be used too. I blended them together mostly out of convenience at first, but the flavor ended up being so good that I started making it on purpose afterward.

The oranges keep the juice bright and refreshing while the plums add a richer fruity flavor and beautiful color. It tastes fresh, slightly sweet, and honestly way better cold straight from the fridge. If you already enjoy recipes like Apple plum juice, Blueberry Raspberry Juice, or Strawberry Lemonade, this plum orange juice fits perfectly into that homemade drink rotation.

Why You Will Love This Plum Orange Juice

What I love most about this juice is how refreshing it tastes while still having a deeper fruit flavor from the plums.

The oranges naturally sweeten the juice and balance the slight tartness from the plums really nicely.

Another thing I like is the color. Depending on the plums you use, the juice turns such a pretty rich shade without needing anything extra.

It’s also really simple to make and works well for breakfast, brunch, or warm afternoons when you want something cold and fruity.

What You Will Need For Plum Orange Juice

A blender works best for combining the fruit smoothly without leaving chunks behind.

You’ll also need a citrus juicer if you want getting the orange juice done faster and with less mess.

A fine mesh strainer helps remove extra pulp and plum skin pieces if you prefer smoother juice.

If you like really cold juice, chilled glasses and extra ice cubes help a lot honestly.

Ingredients For Plum Orange Juice

• 4 plums, pitted and chopped
• 3 oranges, juiced
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 cup cold water
• 1 tablespoon honey, optional
• Ice cubes for serving

How To Make Plum Orange Juice

Wash and chop the plums, removing the pits.

Juice the oranges and pour the juice into a blender.

Add the chopped plums, lemon juice, and cold water.

Blend until completely smooth.

Taste and add honey if you want extra sweetness.

Strain through a fine mesh strainer if you prefer smoother juice.

Pour over ice and serve cold.

I usually chill the juice for a bit before serving because the flavor tastes even fresher once really cold. This juice also goes really well with Homemade Pizza Rolls, Chicken Shawarma Wrap, or even Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes if you’re putting together breakfast or brunch.

Tips For Plum Orange Juice

Sweet oranges usually mean you won’t need extra honey at all.

Red or purple plums give the juice a richer color compared to lighter varieties.

If the juice feels too thick after blending, add a little more cold water until you like the texture better.

Fresh lemon juice helps brighten the fruit flavors and keeps the juice tasting balanced.
