In this video we revisit acid-adjusting cocktails with a small update to my 1% Acid Solution. The recipe here is pretty much the same, just outlined in an easier way to understand. Back when I first came up with this, I spent a lot of time figuring out the ratios to get the 1+1 = 1% increase, and I shared as much as I could in the first video, which just complicated things for most people.

The overall inspiration for this was for someone at home or someone who was workshopping a single cocktail to be able to acid-adjust that drink in real time and easily, where they could repeat the step in the future. While drops and dashes of acid solutions have been a thing before, I wanted to make sure that if you used this method it would be easily repeatable. That way if you did want to adjust a large batch of juice, you would know how much you had increased per cocktail and could scale it up without worrying that you may have done it wrong.

If you want to know more about acid adjusting, I'd recommend you pick up Liquid Intelligence by Dave Arnold and the Tropical Standard book. Links below:

So why are there no great resources for fruit juice acidity online? A better question would by "why would there be?" The process is relatively new, and most sources for fruit acidity online are academic where they were trying to determine that acidity for a specific reason. Below are some acid level resources that I can't necessarily guarantee are accurate, not to mention that the acidity of your fruit might be different then another of the same variety

How it works:
Take 1 mL of the solution and add to 1 oz (or 30 ml) of juice. Your juice has now increased its acidity by 1%

In 1 oz of Juice/Liquid
1 mL solution = +1% acidity
2 mL solution = +2% acidity
3 mL solution = +3% acidity
4 mL solution = +4% acidity
5 mL solution = +5% acidity
6 mL solution = +6% acidity

🍋 Fruit Juice Acidity Levels 🍋
These are estimates sourced from a wide range of sources
Lime: 6% (made of citric and malic acid at a ratio of 2:1)
Lemons: 6% (mainly citric acid)
Grapefruit: 1.5 -2%
Pineapple: 0.5-1%
Oranges: 0.5-1%

Remember that different juices will have different sugar/brix as well as bitterness, so subbing in the EXACT acidity of a lime in grapefruit juice will not necessarily lead to a final drink with the same sweetness, bitterness, and acidity. But that's what the solution is for, something you can play with and even acid adjust more after you have made the drink.

📝 Recipe(s) 📝
1% Lime Solution
24 grams citric acid
11 grams of malic acid
Enough water to reach 100ml with acids
alternatively you can add in 78 grams of water. That was how much I needed to get the 35 grams of acid to dissolve and end up at 100 ml.
