5 Tipsy Calamansi Juice Recipes

You probably already know of the many benefits and the versatility of the calamansi juice. It is used as a skincare to lighten dark patches, remove dark spots, and get glowing skin. It is also used as a hair treatment to fight dandruff and promote hair growth. But mostly it is used in food as an additional flavor to pancit noodles or as a marinade for our meats.

Calamansi juice is really a must-have and a make-sure-we-have-constant-stocks-on-hand on our kitchen pantry kind of item. However if you’re bored with the usual calamansi juice and you’re feeling fancy or in the mood for a little buzz, here are five citrusy and tipsy calamansi juice recipes you can try at home from Advanced Mixology:

If you don’t want the hassle of squeezing the calamansi yourself for its juice, you can always buy cold pressed calamansi juice available on grocery store shelves — just make sure it’s a Davao local juice product to support our local economy, especially during this pandemic. Now I personally adore Malagos Cheeses and Malagos Chocolates so I was overjoyed when I found out that they will be rolling out a Malagos Garden Resort new product which is a Malagos calamansi juice. I don’t know the specific details yet but I am looking forward to get my all-natural, fresh calamansi juice with Malagos!
