Fresh-Squeezed Juice in Richardson, TX: The Summer List at Khashoka
Khashoka at 1057 S Sherman St in Richardson presses eight fresh juices to order, including a signature Cocktail Khashoka blend and two hibiscus options; this post covers the full list, the sourcing philosophy behind it, and how the juice counter fits into a communal Jordanian meal.
Does Khashoka have fresh-squeezed juice in Richardson?
Yes. Khashoka at 1057 S Sherman St in Richardson presses juice to order, and the list is longer than most people expect from a Jordanian restaurant. Eight options, pressed fresh, from orange and grapefruit all the way through a house signature blend and two hibiscus drinks built for a North Texas summer.
The full fresh juice menu at Khashoka:
| Juice | Price |
|---|---|
| Orange | $8 |
| Grapefruit | $8 |
| Lemon & Mint | $8 |
| Fresh Iced Hibiscus | $8 |
| Mango | $9 |
| Strawberry | $9 |
| Cocktail Khashoka (signature) | $9 |
| Fresh Hibiscus Mojito | $12 |
That's the complete list. No juice from a carton, no concentrate. In late June in Richardson, with temperatures sitting in the upper nineties, this counter alone is worth pulling into the parking lot on S Sherman.
Why a Jordanian restaurant presses its own juice
The short answer is that ingredient quality isn't a department at Khashoka. It runs through the whole kitchen. As Tahera Rahman reported for NBC DFW, about 90% of Khashoka's spices, olive oil, and tahini come directly from Jordan. That's the sourcing standard the kitchen sets for the savory menu. Pressing your own juice fits the same logic: if you're already importing jameed from Jordan for the mansaf and using wild zaatar on the manakish, you're not reaching for frozen concentrate for the drink order.
This is a kitchen that treats ingredients as the point, not the background. The juice counter is an extension of that, not an afterthought.
What is the Cocktail Khashoka?
It's Khashoka's signature house blend, and it's the one item on the juice menu that regulars tend to order without looking at the list. The name tells you where it sits: خاشوكة (khashoka) is the everyday word for spoon used in Jordan, Turkish-rooted, and the restaurant named itself after the wide communal serving spoon that gathers everything to the table. The Cocktail Khashoka is the juice equivalent of that idea: a blend the kitchen has made its own.
The specific components are the kitchen's to know. What you get at the table is $9, pressed to order, and distinct enough from the individual fruit options that it warrants ordering on its own terms. Ask your server what's in it. That conversation is part of the point.
The hibiscus duo: a Levantine summer staple
Hibiscus, called karkade across much of the Middle East, is the drink you reach for when citrus isn't enough. It's tart, floral, deep red, and cold. Khashoka offers two versions. The Fresh Iced Hibiscus at $8 is the straightforward pour: hibiscus brewed and served cold. The Fresh Hibiscus Mojito at $12 takes it further, adding the mint and lime elements you'd expect from the mojito frame.
Neither is a novelty item. Both are real Levantine summer drinks, and either one holds up alongside the heavier plates on the table, the kofta, the fatteh, the mansaf. The Hibiscus Mojito in particular works as a closer after a long shared meal, the same way a cold drink does at the end of a long afternoon in Amman.
How the juice menu fits the shared-table experience
D Magazine's Amina Khan wrote that Khashoka feels "lived in, more like sitting in someone's living room than dining out," and that "portions at Khashoka are made for sharing." That framing extends to how you drink here. A round of fresh juices at the start of a meal is how a long Jordanian table opens: with abundance, with something for everyone, before the platters arrive.
Order a spread. Get the hummus, the labneh, the Khashoka's fattoush salad with its fried bread and sumac dressing. Pull a pan of mufarakeh or sujuk with eggs to the center. Then put in juice orders around the table: orange for one, lemon-mint for another, the Cocktail Khashoka for whoever wants to try the house version. That's not an upsell. That's just how a meal that's made for sharing actually starts.
The juice menu makes the case for Khashoka as a full-meal destination, not just a food stop. Straight from Amman's streets to your table.
