Want to add pomegranate juice to your hotel restaurant menu but don’t want to deal with the mess? Manually deseeding and juicing pomegranates is time-consuming. So much so, that even if you want to add pomegranate juice to the mix, the time it takes would leave the price per juice higher than most customers want to pay. We hear you, which is why we have created a juicer that automates the juicing process while delivering superior flavor and quality. Let’s dive into how to make pomegranate juice with a Zumex commercial juicer.

What is the best way to make pomegranate juice?

Impress your hotel or on-site restaurant guests by offering freshly squeezed pomegranate juice. Freshly squeezed OJ is expected in high-end hotels, but pomegranate juice is an elevated offering. While there are some worthy bottled options, fresh is always best. Since it’s not a common fresh juice, adding pomegranates to juice recipes is one way to differentiate your hotel or juice menu.

Deseeding by hand is one option, but it’s time-consuming and often makes a juicy red mess. The finished juice will have quite a bit of pulp, so it won’t be as smooth as your customers expect. A commercial juicer specially designed to juice pomegranates delivers a smooth, nutritious, and delicious pomegranate juice.

A commercial juicer is your most efficient option

Zumex’s pomegranate juicer can be used as a single-serve or high-volume juicer. Our advanced technology juices pomegranates both large and small. Load a case into the feed bin and turn our electric juicer on to juice up to 30 pomegranates per minute. It cuts the fruit in half with a durable titanium blade, then deseeds and extracts juice. The juice is filtered to remove the pulp. Juice directly into a high-volume container or close the tap to dispense into one bottle or serving container at a time. The finished juice is vibrant in color, smooth in texture, and foam-free.

Unlike pressing or other manual extraction options, our juicer extracts more juice per fruit, optimizing both labor and COGS.

Can you blend to make pomegranate juice?

Yes, but it won’t be as convenient. You can manually deseed pomegranates and blend the pomegranate seeds in a blender to make fresh pomegranate juice.

How many hours can we keep pomegranate juice?

Freshly squeezed pomegranate juice that isn’t pasteurized is good for 24 to 72 hours.

How to serve pomegranate juice?

Now that you understand how to efficiently prepare smooth, delicious, and mess-free pomegranate juice—you might be wondering how to serve the new addition to your menu. Take full advantage of the vibrant color by serving straight pomegranate juice and juice infusions in clear beverage containers. This creates a talking point, enticing others to ask what nearby guests are drinking.

Pomegranate menu ideas

Think beyond adding straight pomegranate juice to your breakfast juice menu, to a variety of refreshing and flavorful all-day food and beverage recipes.

  • Half orange juice and half pomegranate juice.
  • Pomegranate mimosa and pomegranate cocktails.
  • Sparkling water with pomegranate juice.
  • Pomegranate-infused hot or cold tea.
  • Pomegranate juice salad dressings, marinades, and sauces.
  • Signatures smoothies with pomegranate juice blended in
  • And more

How to select the perfect pomegranate?

Sweet-tart red wonderful pomegranates represent over 90% of the pomegranates in the US food and beverage industry. However, there are hundreds of varieties to choose from. Consider mixing things up with other year-round or seasonal varieties, such as the sweet yellow Haitian pomegranate.

Utilizing seasonal varieties differentiates your menu and keeps things fun. For your chefs, it can inspire new pomegranate recipes beyond juice.

Whichever variety you’re juicing, ensure quality by:

  • Working with a reputable food vendor for consistency and quality.
  • Knowing what color your variety should be when ripe.
  • Wait to juice until they’re heavy, firm, and more angular than round.
  • When ready to juice, the rind will be matte, not shiny
