Although soda is traditionally the go-to drink for pizza, those with a passion for juice know that a thoughtful juice selection can heighten a pizza meal impressively. At QuietMarsh, in collaboration with local connoisseurs, we've devised juice pairing proposals that are a perfect match for our menu. No matter if you're enjoying a meal at our establishment or at home with our dine-out service, these suggestions will assist you in choosing the ideal juice complement for your preferred variety of pizza.
Classic Margherita: Tomato Basil Juice or Pomegranate Blend
A Margherita pizza's unassuming arrangement of fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil requires a juice that is harmonious and not overpowering. A self-prepared tomato basil juice provides a zesty acid kick resonant with the tomatoes while furnishing enough boldness to accompany the cheese. On the other hand, a delicate pomegranate blend offers refined notes of red fruit that make the tomatoes' sweetness more pronounced and match well with the basil’s aromatic profile.
Our specific recommendation: We suggest pairing our Margherita with our exclusive Tomato Basil Cooler or, for a sweeter option, a locally-produced Pomegranate Blueberry mix.
Meat-Intensive Pizzas: Spiced Cherry or Blackcurrant
Pizzas topped extravagantly with cured meats such as pepperoni and sausage necessitate juices that have a robust body and a spicy edge to equate with their intense savors. Spiced cherry juice, with its luscious fruit essence and zesty finish, complements the meats' saltiness and savor. Alternatively, blackcurrant juice, with its deep dark fruit essence and a tangy finale, provides a refreshing cut through the meats' weightiness.
Our specific recommendation: Patrons particularly relish our house-formulated Spiced Cherry Elixir or the Organic Blackcurrant Supreme alongside our Carnivore’s Delight pizza.
Mushroom and Truffle: Beetroot or Forest Berry
Mushrooms and truffles, with their savory earthiness, call for beverages that present a matching character. Beetroot juice displays subtle earthy nuances perfectly flattering to mushroom flavors while its innate sweetness aids in tempering their full-bodied nature. A forest berry concoction is equally complimentary, developing intricate berry tones that reflect the earthy aspects of truffle accented pizzas.
Our specific recommendation: Our Exotic Mushroom pizza is a delightful partner for the Cold-Pressed Beetroot Juice or the Wild Forest Berry Medley.
Seafood Pizzas: Citrus Splash or Sea Buckthorn
Crisp, mineral-like juices are prime partners for pizzas adorned with oceanic delights such as shrimp or clams. A citrus mix brings a refreshing element that underlines the seafood's flavor while adding bright notes that alleviate the overall dining experience. Sea buckthorn juice is a commendable alternative, high in acidity with tropical hints and a gentle tartness that ensures the oceanic flavors remain undisturbed.
Our specific recommendation: Our Coastal Bounty pizza pairs magnificently with either our Citrus Splash or the Organic Sea Buckthorn Nectar.
Vegetarian Pizzas: Green Detox or Cucumber Melon
Pizzas garnished with a bounty of vegetables benefit from adaptable, herbaceous juices. A green detox juice infused with spinach, celery, and apple accentuates and enhances the flavors found in bell peppers, artichokes, and other vegetable toppings. Cucumber melon juice, with its understated freshness and moderate body, supports a variety of vegetable textures without dominating their intrinsic tastes.
Our specific recommendation: The Vegetable Melange pizza finds a harmonious match in our Daily Green Detox or the Chilled Cucumber Melon Cooler.
Quattro Formaggi: Creamy Almond or Sparkling Apple
The indulgent nature of a four-cheese pizza lends itself to either a complementary or contrasting juice selection. Silky almond drink delivers complimentary nutty tones that bolster similar essences in the cheese mix. In contrast, effervescent apple juice slices through the cheese's opulence with its bubbles and acid, while its natural sweetness provides a pleasing juxtaposition to the savory cheese medley.
Our specific recommendation: Our Four Cheese Spectacle is wonderfully complete with Vanilla Almond Drink or Spritely Apple Fizz.
Heat-Enlivened Pizzas: Mango Lassi or Ginger Turmeric
Pizzas sprinkled with chili, fiery sausage, or piquant honey call for refreshing creamy or zesty juices. Mango lassi's cooling effect is ideal as its velvety texture calms the heat in between bites. Ginger turmeric juice stands up handsomely against the spice while offering a captivating flavor divergence and pro-health attributes.
Our specific recommendation: Our Fiery Delight pizza finds its perfect counterpart in House-made Mango Lassi or the Firefly Ginger Turmeric Boost.
Dessert Pizzas: Berry Smoothie or Chocolate Almond
For the bold individuals eager to explore our sweetened Nutella and fruit-topped pizzas, complementing sweet juices are essential. Berry smoothies provide a perfect companion to fruit-laden dessert pizzas, and chocolate almond drink blends extravagantly with chocolate-hazelnut varieties. Verifying that the juice's sweetness at least equals the dessert ensures a balanced tasting adventure.
Our specific recommendation: The Nutella and Strawberry Delicacy is paradisiacal when enjoyed with the Triple Berry Blast or Dark Chocolate Almond Drink.
