I’ll be honest, I’m usually one of those people who really get into March Madness. I love keeping up with the games and planning ahead to see who I think will win. This year was a bit different due to my team (it’s still too painful to directly mention what happened), but I still have a college basketball-sized hole in my heart.

Enter juice. No, it’s not the same as basketball for a number of reasons. But one reason is the same, they’re both enjoyable. Most of the time at least. So, I’m combining basketball (kinda) and juices and presenting you with the definite power rankings of juices.

1. Apple Juice

Hands down, apple juice is the best. It goes with virtually anything, so you never have to worry about it mixing strangely with your food tastes. Plus, it’s light, refreshing, can be cold or warm, and goes down nice and easy. Basically, with what apple juice brings to the table, it’s going to keep on winning. The rest of the juices are no competition.

2. Grape Juice

Coming in a smooth second place, grape juice has what it takes to win. But at the same time, it’s lacking some of the versatility of apple juice. Although grape juice doesn’t quite go with everything, it still has a full, delicious taste, making it decidedly deserving of second place.

3. Orange Juice

It’s the breakfast drink and breakfast is the most important meal of the day! It’s also a solid mixer, which is why orange juice gets third place. We all know the dangers of mixing orange juice and toothpaste, so there is still some hesitation with this juice. Overall, though, it has a huge appeal and is a favorite early morning beverage.

4. Cranberry Juice

Cranberry juice is definitely a middle of the group type of drink. People do pay some attention to it, but it isn’t the breakout star. Cranberry juice has a delicious taste and certainly deserves its spot. I would like to see cranberry shine more in the future and I believe it has the power to do so.

5. Capri Sun

Admittedly, this is more of a brand than a type of juice. Yet, it mixes so many different juices and flavors together that it basically is its own juice type. Capri Sun is great for the kiddos (and non-kiddos) as a quick, on the go drink. However, it isn’t really one most people immediately go to pick up if given a choice. It still is in the middle of the list, though, because it is a babysitter’s favorite juice to give out and kids everywhere love it.

6. Grapefruit Juice

Another lower tier juice, grapefruit juice is that weird pink liquid that your parents sometimes buy that hangs out in your fridge because no one except your parents wants to drink it. It still has some appeal and is outrunning lemon juice by a long shot. However, it’ll need to do a lot to bump up any higher.

7. Lemon Juice

First things first. When I say lemon juice, I do not mean lemonade. No, no, no, those are two totally different drinks. Lemon juice is that sour juice that comes directly from the lemon. Southerners enjoy putting it in their sweet tea, and it’s a nice addition occasionally in tea, so it doesn’t quite hit the bottom. However, it’s just barely holding on. It’ll need to find a way to amp up if it wants to have a chance at succeeding.

8. Tomato Juice

Honestly, why. Just why. Tomatoes are not for drinking, they’re for pasta sauce and soup. There is little to no appeal here, which is why it’s at the bottom. There’s always the small chance it’ll shoot to the top, but in this case, I don’t see that happening any time soon.

(Disclaimer: I'm purposely leaving out any juices associated with vegetables because that's just a big, fat no.)
