The Ice Ratio
A common trick is to fill the cup with ice and only a splash of juice. A good stall owner knows the balance. You want enough ice to keep it chilled but not so much that it waters down the flavour within two minutes. Ask for less ice if you want the full fruit punch.
Custom Blends
Don't just stick to watermelon. The beauty of the juice stall is the mix. Carrot with ginger and orange is a morning classic, while green apple with sour plum is the ultimate palate cleanser after a heavy plate of char kway teow.
