Not my work but very relevant to diy juice mixing.

Many fruits have natural flavor companions: apple and cinnamon, strawberry and banana, cherry and vanilla. We know and love these pairings because they are familiar and we use them all the time in our food and drinks. But there's more out there and discovering new flavor combinations is half the fun of mixing drinks.
Whether you're a cocktail connoisseur, a professional bartender, or a budding drink mixer, this study of flavor pairings is a valuable resource. It was created by European mixologist, Humberto Marques who has been developing creative cocktails with unique tastes for many years.
Marques' Eucalyptus Martini is a showstopper and his Cranberry Peanut Buttered Hot Rum recipe is a winter delight. Yes, eucalyptus, and peanut butter... if that doesn't get you thinking, I'm unsure what will.
at bars like his own Curfew in Copenhagen, he has investigated the finer points of flavor. His study of flavor pairings is one of the most extensive from any individual and unquestionably noteworthy.
Certain fruit flavors work better with others and many of these recommendations are surprising. For instance, did you think that pomegranate and cucumber could be mixed into a single drink? Has the combination of banana and hazelnut crossed your mind?
In his extensive study, Marques has gone beyond the common fruits like apple, orange, and berries. He also shares with us his thoughts on more exotic fruits like feijoa, persimmon, and tomatillo. These are especially challenging ingredients, especially if you have little experience with them. Where do you begin?
