Although fizzy drinks have often been the go-to match for pizza, those who adore juices understand that an impeccable juice selection can transform a pizza meal into an extraordinary gourmet adventure. At HarvestPlum, in partnership with local connoisseurs, we've devised an array of juice pairings that brilliantly complement our menu offerings. These pairing guidelines are designed to enhance your experience, whether you’re indulging in our cuisine on-site or at your home.
Timeless Margherita: Tomato Basil Blend or Pomegranate Mix
A Margherita pizza with its traditional toppings of ripe tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, and aromatic basil requires a juice that won’t overshadow these subtle flavors. A homemade tomato basil mixture introduces a zesty tang that mirrors the tomato essence while upholding the strength to balance out the cheese's richness. Alternatively, a lighter pomegranate mix adds sophisticated berry accents, promoting the tomatoes’ natural sweetness and marrying well with the basil.
Our tailored suggestion: Our Margherita pairs splendidly with our custom-made Tomato Basil Refreshment or for a hint of sweetness, a locally-crafted Pomegranate Blueberry blend.
Pepperoni and Meat Lover's Choice: Spicy Cherry or Darkcurrant
The robust tastes of pizzas laden with pepperoni, sausage, or prosciutto benefit from juices that possess enough prominence and spice to counterbalance these assertive flavors. A jam-like cherry drink with a spicy kick competently challenges the top layers' saltiness and heat. An alternative, the darkcurrant juice, brings forth earthy berry essences and a tangy end-note that slices through the savory meats.
Our tailored suggestion: Patrons particularly favor our in-house Spiced Cherry Potion or Organic Darkcurrant Delight paired with our Meat Lover's pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle Delight: Beetroot or Forest Berry Fusion
Pizzas adorned with mushrooms and truffles blend exquisitely with juices that evoke a similar earthy palate. Beetroot juice, with its sweet and subtle earthy flavors, serves as an excellent pair for the intense mushroom and truffle aromas. A mixed berry creation also performs admirably, conjuring intricate berry undertones that reflect the pizza's inherent earthiness.
Our tailored suggestion: Opt for our Earthy Mushroom pizza alongside our Pressed Beetroot Essence or Wild Berry Forest Fusion.
Seafood Specialty: Zesty Citrus or Sea Buckthorn Tang
For pizzas boasting toppings like prawns or clams, crisp juices with a touch of mineral undertone make for the ideal partner. A citrus concoction offers a fresh palate cleanse that accentuates the delicate seafood, while the vibrant notes offer a lighter eating experience. Sea buckthorn juice shines as another fine option, with brisk acidity and a tropical zest that's subtle enough not to upstage the seafood's subdued flavors.
Our tailored suggestion: Our Coastal Seafood pizza matches exquisitely with our Citrus Quench or our Organic Sea Buckthorn Elixir.
Vegetable Supreme: Green Cleanse or Cucumber Melon Chiller
Pizzas covered in a variety of vegetables benefit from the adaptability of herbal-accented beverages. A green detox concoction comprising spinach, celery, and apple harmonizes and boosts the flavors of an assortment of vegetables like bell peppers and artichokes. The cucumber melon juice imparts a refreshing subtleness and lightness compatible with the varied vegetable textures without overshadowing them.
Our tailored suggestion: Our Verdant Explosion pizza shares perfect synergy with our signature Vital Green Cleanse or Cool Cucumber Melon Quencher.
Quartet of Cheeses: Nutty Almond or Bubbles of Apple
The indulgent profile of a pizza brimming with four varieties of cheese demands a beverage that either complements or contrasts the flavor. An almond milk with a hint of vanilla offers a nuttiness that resonates with the cheese's own nutty characteristics. For a contrasting taste, sparkling apple juice is recommended—it’s fizz and tartness slice through the cheese’s decadence, whilst the fruity essence offers a delightful opposition to the cheeses' savory flair.
Our tailored suggestion: Our Four Cheese pizza is an exceptional pairing with our Creamy Vanilla Almond Beverage or Effervescent Apple Delight.
For Spicy Pizza Enthusiasts: Creamy Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric Zing
When savoring pizzas with chili seasoning, spicy sausages, or zesty honey, beverages that present a cooling creaminess or a spicy kick offer a soothing counterpart. A mango lassi cools the taste buds, and its smooth texture offers comfort in between bites. A ginger turmeric elixir stands its ground against the pizza’s spiciness while offering an alluring flavor contrast and anti-inflammatory properties.
Our tailored suggestion: Our Fiery Diavola gains an ideal companion in our Homemade Mango Lassi or our Ginger Turmeric Energizer.
Final Act with Dessert Pizzas: Berry Blend or Chocolaty Almond
For those daring to delve into our decadent Nutella and fruit dessert pizzas, sweet juices are crucial. Berry smoothies underscore the essence of fruit-laden dessert pizzas, while chocolate almond milk is a divine complement to chocolate-hazelnut combinations. The beverage's sweetness should match or surpass that of the dessert for the best experience.
Our tailored suggestion: Our Nutella and Strawberry dessert pie pairs like a dream with our Mixed Berry Blast or Rich Dark Chocolate Almond Milk.
