Naughty and Nice juices founded in the middle of a Pacific Ocean crossing. This is no ordinary organic juice. After a few seasons of sailing in the Caribbean, Team Naughty realised there wasn’t enough “nice” ingredients in beach bar cocktails. Too much sugar and junky syrups and not enough cold pressed natural goodness.
So, after returning to dry land on the Côte d’Azur, a new organic juice company was born.
Naughty + Nice organic juices and shots are all specially formulated to work as cocktail mixers and detox juices for the day after. But since the combinations are so tasty and nutritious, kids love them too. In fact all 4 juice combos are kid tested and approved.
Their signature detox shot “The Fire Baby” has been likened to natural viagra, so be careful out there guys 😜
