POG Drink Recipe

A POG drink recipe – It’s easy to make POG from fresh squeezed tropical fruit juice instead of buying it in a can.


POG DRINK IN HAWAII

POG gets it’s name from the three fruits it is made from – Passion Fruit, Oranges, and Guavas. POG, also known as pog juice or Pog drink. The drink dates back to the early 1900s when passionfruit, orange, and guava were combined to make a refreshing beverage for the island’s inhabitants. This unique flavor combination has been popular in Hawaii since the mid-1990s but has recently gained more widespread attention due to its popularity among food and beverage companies. It is typically made by mixing equal parts of each juice but can also be blended with other juices and smoothies. POG is now available in many forms including canned, bottled, and frozen in most grocery stores across the United States. It is found in cans all over Hawaii, and we have had it for years, but recently we had some in Maui that was fresh squeezed. Wow – such a difference.

A POG DRINK RECIPE OF FRESH SQUEEZED FRUIT

When we got home, I realized that all three fruits grow in our neighborhood, so it was easy to bring a little bit of the islands back home. Our farmer’s market or fruit stand also has them in season. Making it is really easy. Equal parts of all three juices. The juice just needs to be strained to remove the seeds.
