For those still skeptical of the juicing trend, DC’s new premier juice bar, Jrink, just opened a brand new store location in Foggy Bottom. Jrink offers 17 different juice varieties that can fuel you up and clean you up, each costing roughly $9.
Their different product categories can be scaled to match your taste preferences and your experience with juicing. The brand has also invested in developing new flavors, like The Pumpkin Chai and ‘Tis The Season, that have bolder tastes and challenge the notion that drinking your veggies is gross. As for the skeptics still out there, here are 10 reasons to check out Jrink’s new store location in Foggy Bottom.
Jrink is the perfect excuse to escape Lau

Jrink’s new Foggy Bottom location is a perfect study spot. It gives off coffee shop vibes, with a large table to crack open that history book. Unlike Lau, the store is well lit with a gorgeous front window and a fireplace. Plus, the storefront has free wifi to check blackboard, or Facebook.
It sells your new hangover cure
With aloe vera water, lemon, grape and the magic ingredient (activated charcoal), Black Magic is the best-kept secret in hangover cures. Charcoal acts like a sponge in that it helps to reduce the absorption of drugs and other toxins, like alcohol, into the body after ingested. The ominous, black color of the drink should not be feared. Charcoal itself is in fact tasteless, so Jrink’s Black Magic actually just tastes like really good lemonade.
There are tasting boards for the newbies

For those new to the juicing trend, Jrink offers sampling menus. For $9 you can try little shots of six different flavors as well as one of Jrink’s snacks, like the sprouted cinnamon pecans.
Jrink does not discriminate against food allergies
All of Jrink’s juices are lactose free so leave your lactiaid at home. In addition, the Jrink team has developed creative ways to avoid including nuts in their juices. For instance, Jrink launched its seasonal Pumpkin Chai juice that is completely nut-free. Starbucks’ Pumpkin Spiced Latte now has a new competitor on the block.

Flu season is well underway, but you can beat the sniffles with Jrink’s immuniTEAs. The juice bar offers three levels of immuniTEAs based on how much of a pick-me-up your immune system needs. The drinks incorporate ingredients like ginger, tumeric, apple cider vinegar and lemon to help reboot your immune system and stay healthy.

Jrink and workout
