Homemade POG Juice

Learn how to make homemade POG juice with just 3 simple ingredients! This Hawaiian juice tastes like sunshine and vacation.

Have you tried POG Juice? This Hawaiian juice goes by many names–POG, POG juice, POG drink, Pass-O-Guava, Liliko’i juice, and more, but whatever you call it, this iconic drink DELICIOUS.

Invented in Hawaii in the 1970’s for Maui’s Haleakala dairy (later bought by Meadow Gold), POG juice almost instantly became famous for its tropical, refreshing taste, and quickly took off. Many people fall in love with POG on Hawaiian vacations and come home with a craving after enjoying it at restaurants and resorts across the Hawaiian islands.

Since it was introduced at several Disney World locations and Disney Aulani (where it picked up additional nicknames, like Stitch Juice, O’Hana POG, and Jungle Juice), it’s also become a favorite drink for Disney fans, along with other popular treats like Dole Whip and Disneyland Mint Juleps!

Whether you’re craving a taste of a tropical vacation, planning a fun Hawaiian party or simply looking for a delicious drink recipe to try, this easy homemade POG juice recipe is the perfect place to start. Let’s take a look at the 3 ingredients you’ll need to make a batch…

Simple Ingredients To Get Started

The fun thing about POG juice is that the recipe is in the name: P-O-G! Each letter stands for one of the tropical fruits you need to make it–passion fruit, orange & guava. Let’s take a closer look at each of the main ingredients: 

• Passion Fruit Juice. P is for passion fruit juice! It can be tricky to find pure passion fruit juice, so a passion fruit juice blend (like Ceres or even Welch’s) can be a good place to start.
• Orange Juice. O is for orange juice! Bright, citrusy, and fresh. Fresh-squeezed orange juice will give you the best flavor, but good-quality store-bought juice is the next best choice. We like Simply Orange juice.
• Guava Juice. G is for guava juice. This fresh tropical flavor is tough to beat! Sometimes at the grocery store, you’ll see this sold as guava nectar. Ceres is a good brand to look for!

One thing you won’t see in this ingredient list is added sugar. We don’t think you need it when you make your own POG juice! (Disney’s official POG juice recipe doesn’t use any either.) This refreshing drink gets all the sweetness it needs from the juice.

How To Make POG Juice, Step By Step

As always, you can find the full recipe with ingredient amounts, detailed instructions, and tips in the recipe card below!

1. Combine. In a large pitcher, combine passion fruit juice, orange juice, and guava juice. Stir until well blended.
2. Chill. Ideally, we recommend chilling the juice for an hour or two to let the flavors mingle. Or, you can serve over ice for a frosty finish.
3. Maybe Garnish. For a fun touch, garnish each glass with an orange slice, an edible flower, fresh mint, or a little scoop of fresh passion fruit. 
4. Serve & Store. Enjoy cold with ice and store leftover POG juice in the refrigerator up to 5 days. (For the best experience, we recommend giving leftover juice a good stir or a big shake before serving if you see any separation.) 

Fun Ways To Use POG Juice

Our first choice will always be an ice cold glass of POG juice, but if you’re looking for more ways to enjoy the magic of POG, try one of these fun treats:

• Turn it Into a Mocktail! A POG mimosa made with prosecco is popular, but for the alcohol-free crowd, we love to mix POG juice with sparkling water or club soda for a fizzy finish. Or, you can swap POG juice into our Sweet Sunrise Mocktail. It’s delicious!
• Turn It Into A POG Slushy. Make a POG slushie by freezing POG juice in ice cube trays, then blending with a small drizzle of juice until you reach a slushy texture. It’s a frosty, fun drink for a hot day! 
• Turn It Into Popsicles! My kids jokingly call POG popsicles “pogsicles.” Just freeze the juice in popsicle molds for 3-4 hours, and this tropical delight is ready to go!

FAQ + Tricks For The Best Homemade POG Juice
