Inspired by M&S’s legendary sprout juice, here is our fun Brussels sprout juice Christmas recipe. Would you dare serve this to your festive guests?

Unless you have been living under a Christmas tree, pun absolutely intended, you will almost certainly remember the moment M&S launched their now legendary Brussels sprout juice way back in 2014 and divided the entire nation clean in two.

Love it or loathe it, the humble Brussels sprout has gate-crashed the drinks cabinet, and we are here for it.

So in true Christmas spirit, we decided to create our very own Brussels sprout juice Christmas recipe, and honestly, it is far more delicious than you might think. We dare you to try it! 🎄

The Story Behind The Christmas Sprout Juice

M&S caused absolute festive chaos when they unveiled their Brussels sprout juice in 2014, with half of the nation recoiling in horror while the other half immediately added it to their Christmas shopping list.

The reaction was so enormous that it became one of the most talked-about Christmas food moments of the year.

We loved the idea so much, we had to create our own version.

Before you screw up your face – hear us out.

The secret to a genuinely delicious Brussels sprout Christmas juice is to balance the earthiness of the sprout with sweet, fruity, and zingy flavours.

Here is everything you need:

10-12 fresh Brussels sprouts: Washed and trimmed

2 green apples: Cored and roughly chopped

A thumb-sized piece of fresh ginger: Peeled

1 lemon: juiced

A small handful of fresh mint: For that extra festive freshness

200ml cold water: To loosen

🔗 Buy ingredients from Tesco

And here is how to make it:
Step 1 — Feed your Brussels sprouts, apples and ginger through your juicer alternating between them to extract maximum flavour and colour.

Step 2 — Add the fresh lemon juice and cold water, and stir well to combine everything beautifully.
Step 3 — Taste and adjust — add more apple for sweetness, more lemon for zing or more ginger for warmth, depending on your preference.

Step 4 — Pour over ice into your most festive glasses and garnish with a sprig of mint and a twist of lemon.
Step 5 — Take a deep breath — and drink!

The Great Christmas Sprout Debate

Now for the really important question: are you Team Sprout or firmly in the anti-sprout camp? Because at Christmas, there is simply no middle ground on this most divisive of festive vegetables.

The lovers argue that Brussels sprouts are the unsung hero of the Christmas dinner table — nutty, caramelised and utterly delicious when cooked correctly.

The loathers, meanwhile, insist no amount of bacon butter or chestnuts will ever make them acceptable!
