JUICE UP YOUR SPRING MENU
Spring is here, and that means brighter drinks and busier patios!
Make sure your bar is stocked with the essentials from Albemarle Paper Supply, the mixers and juices that keep every pour perfect.
Top 5 Juices & Mixers for Spring:
Pineapple Juice (Small Cans): Add a tropical touch to cocktails or mocktails.
Pro Tip: Use a splash in your house margarita or mojito for a fun twist — it adds brightness and balances spice beautifully.
Orange Juice (Barpack & Small Cans): A brunch favorite for mimosas and screwdrivers.
Pro Tip: Freeze OJ in ice cube trays for a slow-melting punch cooler — keeps flavor strong without watering it down.
Cranberry Juice (Barpack): For cosmos, vodka crans, and a burst of color.
Pro Tip: Mix with pineapple juice for a tart-sweet combo that makes even nonalcoholic drinks feel special.
Sour Mix (Barpack & Daily’s): Essential for margaritas, lemon drops, and whiskey sours.
Pro Tip: Try blending sour mix with fresh fruit purees — like strawberry or peach — for quick, custom spring cocktails.
Soda Tonic Water: Clean, crisp, and perfect for spritzes or gin & tonics.
Create a low-ABV cocktail menu using tonic water — pair it with flavored bitters, citrus, or fresh herbs for light spring sippers.
The juices and mixers listed above are our best-sellers, but we carry so much more! Call your APS sales rep now to add any of our juices and mixers to your next order!

They may not be the most glamorous item on your supply list, but toilet seat covers are one of those small details that make a big difference in customer perception and restroom hygiene.
Providing them shows guests you care about cleanliness and comfort, especially in high-traffic restrooms. They’re easy to stock, fit most standard dispensers, and help maintain a more sanitary environment for both guests and staff.
Whether you’re restocking an existing dispenser or adding them for the first time, Albemarle Paper Supply has you covered (literally).

Fun Fact 🍻
The first recorded restaurant in North Carolina dates back to the early 1800s and it was actually a tavern-style stop where travelers could eat, drink, and rest on the road to Wilmington.
That makes North Carolina one of the earliest states with a documented hospitality culture!
