Christmas hamper with juice: fresh and alcohol-free thanks to Schulp

Why naturally cloudy fruit juice is a surprisingly strong heart for an alcohol-free Christmas hamper, and what to pair it with.

Juice is the most underrated product in a Christmas hamper. Everyone drinks it, it always gets used, and a well-pressed glass tastes noticeably different from a supermarket carton.

What do you pair it with?

• Christmas wreath biscuits or a luxury chocolate bar as a sweet counterpart.
• Alcohol-free beer from vandeStreek for anyone who wants something with a bit more fizz.
• A small jar of honey from De Bijenbaas as a sweet finishing touch.
• A card with a short note on the press house and the fruit variety.

Mind the variety

Schulp presses apple-pear juice, the red Winter Appels juice and the distinctive Red Love juice made from the pink apple of the same name. Combine two flavours in one hamper so there's something for every preference.

Our juice box

Juice from Schulp is included as standard in the Weerdsingel Box, our fully alcohol-free Utrecht hamper. See the full contents list at Christmas hampers Utrecht.

Tip: choose naturally cloudy over clear

Clear juice from a carton is functional; naturally cloudy pressed juice is a gift. Schulp presses the fruit skin and all, which keeps the flavour closer to the tree. Name the apple or plum variety on the card - that makes it personal straight away.

Tip: combine two flavours per hamper

• A classic such as apple-pear juice as the safe choice.
• A distinctive flavour like Red Love or Winter Appels as the surprise.
• A sweet counterpart: honey from De Bijenbaas or a bar from The Chocolate Explorers.
• For anyone who wants fizz: alcohol-free beer from vandeStreek.

Tip: use juice as the heart of your alcohol-free option

An alcohol-free hamper often feels like a stripped-back version. With two bottles of pressed juice, a good snack and the same packaging, that difference disappears. Our Weerdsingel Box is built exactly around that idea.

Tip: mind glass and weight for home delivery

Juice in glass makes a hamper heavy. Use a cardboard insert, spread the weight across the box and flag glass contents with the courier. With one office address you can use less packaging.

Tip: store cool and hand out quickly

Freshly pressed juice does not keep forever. Store the boxes cool and dark and hand them out soon after delivery so everyone drinks the juice at its best.
