Classic Jamaican-Style Soursop Juice Recipe
The quintessential Caribbean soursop drink — creamy, fragrant, and deeply refreshing. Made with condensed milk, nutmeg, and vanilla.
If there's one drink that defines Caribbean tropical flavor, it's soursop juice. This recipe is the classic Jamaican preparation — creamy, fragrant, and utterly refreshing on a hot day.
Ingredients
- •1 ripe soursop
- •3 cups water
- •1 tsp vanilla extract
- •½ tsp grated nutmeg
- •Condensed milk or sugar to taste
- •Squeeze of lime
Instructions
1. Peel the soursop and extract the white pulp. 2. Using your hands in a large bowl, squeeze and massage the pulp in the water to release the juices. Remove and discard ALL seeds. 3. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a pitcher. 4. Stir in the vanilla, nutmeg, sweetener, and lime juice. 5. Serve chilled over ice.
Pro Tips
- •Use condensed milk for the traditional Caribbean taste — it adds a creaminess that sugar alone can't match.
- •Freshly grated nutmeg makes a huge difference over pre-ground.
- •If using frozen soursop pulp, use 2 cups pulp to 3 cups water.
- •This juice keeps in the refrigerator for 2-3 days — shake before serving as the pulp settles.
