Frequently Asked Questions
Beverages labeled “juice cocktail” and “juice beverage” probably have a very small amount of actual juice. They are primarily water, some form of sweetener and artificial colors and flavors. Whenever a recipe calls for juice, look for 100% juice on the label.
This will depend on how your blood glucose levels typically respond to two things:juiceandalcohol. While the carbs are low in this recipe, sticking to one serving and pairing it with a light snack that contains protein or fat may help prevent your blood sugars from spiking too much.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
