Juicy Fact

This was the most popular drink served at the renowned Source Restaurant on Sunset Boulevard in the 1970s. The restaurant was one of the first all-organic venues in the world, and many Hollywood celebrities dined there, hence the name of the juice. At the time, though, this drink was named the Hollywood Sunset.
