    to firmly press or twist a food with fingers, hands, or a device to remove its liquid, like shredded potatoes, frozen and thawed spinach, or tofu.

What is Sparkling Apple Juice?

  • Sparkling apple juice and cider are fizzy, fun-filled versions of noncarbonated apple juice and its cider cousin. You ́ll find these naturally sweet, nonalcoholic drinks in your grocery store's juice aisle. Other fruit flavors are sometimes added to the apple, including cranberry, grape, pear, and pomegranate.
  • Sparkling apple cider is ideal for family celebrations, appealing to revelers young and old. Fat-free, cholesterol-free, caffeine-free, and 100 percent juice, sparkling apple juice will appeal to both parents and kids!

The Yolk's On You

I can't use my laptop anymore because someone spilled apple juice on it.

It was a cider attack!

That's Berry Funny

I was going to take a class to learn how to make apple juice. 

But it got canceled due to a pressing issue.
