Orange juice is key to a well-stocked bar, there is no question about that. Without it you cannot have a Screwdriver, a Bronx, a Mimosa or any of the other popular drinks listed below.

If you want the best orange juice cocktails possible, squeeze the juice yourself. There are many fruit and citrus juicers available to fit any need and oranges are inexpensive year-round so you cannot go wrong. Also, beyond recommending fresh squeezed orange juice, I must say that the darker blood orange juice is a nice alternative you may want to experiment with. While these fruits are somewhat harder to find depending on your market, there are excellent brands like Italian Organic available.
