An important ingredient in many cocktails is an acidic component (such as lemon juice or lime juice), which is often balanced with a sweetener of some sort. To help work through recipes, it can often be handy to be able to compare and contrast the acidic nature of various products to understand how they might be able to be used. Below is a table that lists the approximate pH of various fruits and vegetables (including many that probably won't ever make their way in to a cocktail).
Acidity in fruits can come from a variety of different acids. The most common of them include[1][2]:
- Ascorbic Acid
- (aka Vitamin C) is present in various concentrations in most fruits and vegetables. It is important for human health, and it's presence in lemons and limes was the original treatment for scurvy.
- Citric Acid
- This is the main acid found in various fruits, and is the primary acid found in lemons and limes. It is also found in strawberries, raspberries, and gooseberries.
- Malic Acid
- This is the main acid found in stone fruits such as apricots, cherries, nectarines, and peaches. It is also present in apples, blackberries, blueberries, grapes, pears, plums, and quince. It is quite concentrated in rhubarb, being almost it's singular flavor, and while watermelon is low in acid (5.18 to 5.6), Malic Acid is the main form of acid it contains.
- Tartaric Acid
- This is the main acid in grapes (which also contain Malic Acid), with red grapes having more than green. It is also the primary acid in Avocados as well as Tamarind.
- Succinic Acid
- Is present in Apples and some berries
- Oxalic Acid
- Contained in small amounts in some berries
- Benzoic Acid
- An acid found in cranberries
- Isocitric Acid
- Is present in blackberries
- Quinic Acid
- Is present in plums and kiwi fruit
This table is based on the FDA document "Approximate pH of Foods and Food Products" which is cited by many online sources, but is apparently no longer up-to-date, or even available from their website. I have listed a link to it at the bottom of the page via Archive.org from the "most recent" version I was able to find online. [3]
