An acerola drink is a beverage made with acerola fruit juice, purée, or extract, often mixed with water. Acerola is a tropical fruit known for its high vitamin C content, though the amount in a drink varies with its fruit content.
Yes, an acerola drink can provide vitamin C because acerola fruit is especially rich in it. The amount varies depending on how much acerola is used and how the drink is prepared or processed.
An acerola drink usually tastes tart, fruity, and refreshing. Its flavor varies with the fruit and how concentrated the drink is; added sugar or other fruit can make it sweeter.
Blend acerola fruit with water, then strain the mixture if you want a smoother acerola drink. If fresh fruit is unavailable, use acerola purée; mix it with another fruit to soften the tartness without relying on added sugar.
No, an acerola drink is not cherry juice. Acerola is sometimes called Barbados cherry, but it is a different tropical fruit from the cherries used to make cherry juice.
Acerola's vitamin C contributes to normal immune function, but an acerola drink cannot prevent or cure infections. It can be part of a varied diet, rather than a substitute for medical care or other healthy habits.
An acerola drink may provide vitamin C, but it does not cure a cold or reliably stop one from developing. Drink it if you enjoy it, and treat persistent or severe symptoms as a health issue rather than relying on the beverage.
Some acerola drinks contain added sugar to balance the fruit's tartness, while others do not. Check the ingredients list for sugar or syrup, or make an acerola drink at home so you can control how it is sweetened.
Yes, most people can include an acerola drink in their daily diet. Keep in mind that concentrated or fortified versions may provide more vitamin C, and the acidity may bother people with sensitive stomachs.
Keep an opened acerola drink covered in the refrigerator and follow the storage instructions on its packaging. Refrigerate homemade acerola drink in a sealed container and use it while fresh.

Acerola Drink is made from the juice or pulp of acerola, a small, tart fruit native to the tropical Americas. It is often blended with water and may be sweetened. In Brazil and parts of the Caribbean, it is enjoyed as a fruit drink, commonly served chilled with breakfast or alongside a meal. Its sharp, bright fruitiness makes it especially refreshing cold.
It is very low in fat, with most of its energy coming from carbohydrates, and is exceptionally rich in vitamin C. If you prefer a less sweet drink, choose an unsweetened version or dilute it with water.
