Fresh-pressed sour cherry juice is made by pressing washed, pitted sour cherries. If you do not have a press, crush the fruit and strain it through a fine sieve; dilute the juice with water if you prefer a milder taste.
Fresh-pressed sour cherry juice may support sleep for some people, but the effect is not certain. Sour cherries contain melatonin, yet juice is not a proven treatment for insomnia.
Fresh-pressed sour cherry juice is made from tart cherries, while cherry juice often refers to juice from sweeter cherries. Sour cherry juice tastes sharper and more acidic, so the two are not always interchangeable in recipes.
No, sugar is not necessary in fresh-pressed sour cherry juice. Its tartness varies with the fruit; taste it first, then add a little sweetener only if you prefer a sweeter drink.
Keep fresh-pressed sour cherry juice in a clean, sealed container in the refrigerator and drink it within a few days. Do not leave it at room temperature for long, and discard it if its smell or appearance changes.
Yes, fresh-pressed sour cherry juice can be frozen. Leave room for expansion in a freezer-safe container, then thaw it in the refrigerator and stir well before drinking; use it soon after thawing.
Fresh-pressed sour cherry juice can be diluted with cold water if its tartness is too strong. Add water gradually until the flavor suits you, rather than sweetening the whole batch.
Fresh-pressed sour cherry juice can be a refreshing drink after exercise, but it does not replace water or a balanced recovery meal. Research on tart cherry products and exercise recovery is promising but does not establish juice as a treatment.
Some people with diabetes may include fresh-pressed sour cherry juice in a measured portion, but juice can raise blood sugar and added sugar changes the drink further. Ask your doctor or dietitian how it fits your individual plan.
Either is fine: strained fresh-pressed sour cherry juice has a smoother texture, while leaving the pulp in makes it thicker. Strain it through a fine sieve if you want a clearer drink.

Fresh-pressed sour cherry juice is made by extracting the juice from ripe sour cherries, a tart fruit used widely in Turkey and across Central and Eastern Europe. It has a vivid, tangy-fruity flavour; once strained, it is much thinner and lower in fibre than eating the whole cherries.
Serve it chilled with a meal or as a refreshing drink on a warm day. Sourness varies with the fruit, so some people sweeten the juice, while others prefer its sharp edge. It supplies carbohydrates mainly from the fruit’s natural sugars, with 12.2 g per 100 g. For a lighter, less sweet glass, skip added sugar and dilute it with cold water or sparkling water.
Medium
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
