A potion of fruit juice is simply that; fruit juice. It adds 10 nutrition if cursed, 20 if uncursed, and 30 if blessed.

When drinking this potion, you receive the message "This tastes like [fruit; default is slime mold] juice." The potion of see invisible has the same message; these are therefore difficult to tell apart by random quaffing. Some ways to tell the two apart include:

  • If you were blind and were unblinded, it was see invisible.
  • If you see previously invisible objects/enemies after quaffing, it was see invisible.
  • Zap a wand of enlightenment or otherwise attain enlightenment. If you have the see invisible intrinsic, it was see invisible.
  • Fruit juice is sold in a delicatessen; see invisible is not. If you see one of the two in a deli, it's fruit juice. Likewise, if a deli buys the potion, it's fruit juice.
  • Dipping a unicorn horn into a potion of sickness turns it into fruit juice.
  • Dipping an amethyst into a potion of booze turns it into fruit juice.
  • If you are on the border of a hunger change and it disappears upon quaffing, it was fruit juice; however, this is difficult to test.
  • Fruit juice is unaffected by cancellation.
