Acid Adjustment Calculator
Convert juice acidity to match any fruit’s acid profile for balanced, precise cocktails.
Juices vary wildly in acidity, which can throw off the balance of a cocktail. This calculator helps you adjust the citric and malic acid levels in any juice to match the profile of another (like making pineapple juice behave like lime). Just enter your juice volume, select the source and target fruits, and get a precise breakdown of how much acid to add.
Acid profiles were sourced from published food chemistry journals, USDA data, and peer-reviewed research on fruit juice composition.
