  • What's the name of your horrible dish?
  • The worlds first preservative free soft drink!
  • What are the ingredients?
  • Fruit Juice and Ice
  • How do you make it?
  • You simply mix the two together and serve a few days later. Because there are no preservatives (even 'fresh' bottled fruit juice has them), the drink will ferment and will soon explode.
