This might be a good excuse to make a big old-school punch, David Wondrich style with the oleo saccharum and everything.
Barring that, my usual go-to for a crowd pleaser that easy to batch is Jim Meehan's Green Tea Punch. It's basically a classic grog but with green tea and mint tea for the "weak" component.

If you do end up having to juice a bunch of citrus, I definitely recommend straining it before you use it, and you may wanna use this opportunity to get a juicer more suited to higher volume. Even a cheap one like this will make the job a lot easier.

I bought the Hamilton Beach Big Mouth Juice Extractor from Walmart for $50. It's plastic, but works very well and is easy to clean. Plus, extractor juicers give the best yield.
I bought the Omega J8006 masticating juicer for $300 about six months ago after doing a bunch of research and have been very pleased with it. It's heavy duty and can handle anything I throw in it. My only complaint is the container the juice drips into is small and requires frequent emptying if you're making more than one juice.
When doing research on my options, I found Joe Cross' Reboot website to be helpful, as well as the reviews and comparisons on Amazon.
I use an inexpensive Black+Decker electric juicer for limes. Worked great for years. I get about an ounce from a standard small lime. I’ll do about 40 at a time. This is the current version at Amazon.
I actually bought the below juicer. You do have to work it a little, but I’m pleasantly surprised by how much more juice you get than by hand. You can control the amount of pulp as well!
I definitely hear you on the full dish rack, haha

According to chocolatealchemy.com this juicer will make chocolate liquor. Keep in mind it’s unrefined.
To answer your question, I don’t think it would make it easier to remove the seeds, but you could try using a nut milk bag with this method. It could work.
And it initially cost $699. That's about 10x the price of a decent regular juicer that, you know, can handle actual fruits and vegetables that you get at the supermarket for a fraction of these single use packets.
That looks interesting, I use an electric juicer this little guy right now for bulk juicing but I like how the mechanical presses get a bit of the oil out of the peel too.
Interesting, idk how people manage to abuse mdma. I mean those hangovers have to still hit you, don’t they?
That said, I’d recommend looking into juicing. Do 1 Apple, 2 carrots, and 2 celeries, once per day. I would take it when you have most access to the bathroom over the next several hours.
I have the Black&Decker version of the second one. I still multi strain though a very fine mesh sieve to remove as much pulp as possible.
I use this one for lemons and limes. It works really well and is only $15.
My local tiki bar uses this:

Buy one of these and get some oranges (costco has boxes of navel oranges). I do this every morning, simple and delicious! Enjoy! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001EU9VSM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_0R83S9XTZQ39NGHVPN3R
Got a spinzall at the house. It fun to play with. Clarifying liquids, making butter, yogurt. Roto-vap would be fun but big $$$
I'm always curious to know why people don't like the special offers. They never show up while you're actually doing something, only on the lock screen and a special tab on your homescreen. Amazon occasionally has some really great deals with those as well.
In the past year, I have gotten a brand new Cuisinart Juicer for $20, normally $120, a Bluetooth speaker for $20, normally $125. Such great deals
Get the Hamilton Beach Big Mouth Pro 67650. It's a very good entry-level juicer that I personally have for 4-5 years already.
You got a lot of clients' opinions on it (always read the 4 stars ones on Amazon for the lesser-biased and unshilling testimonials).
Get a cheap electric lemon juicer like this onehttps://www.amazon.com/BLACK-DECKER-Citrus-Juicer-CJ625/dp/B001EU9VSM
​
It will save you time and you get more juice out of each lemon.
I’ve had one of these for years and I love it. https://www.amazon.com/BLACK-DECKER-Citrus-Juicer-CJ625/dp/B001EU9VSM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1548553322&sr=8-3&keywords=black+decker+citrus+juicer Any time I need more than an ounce or two of juice, I use this. It’s quick, easy, gets plenty of juice out, and cost 20 bucks. Cleanup is just a matter of rinsing it off and tossing in the top rack of the dishwasher.
I have an older model of this Black and Decker juicer. Works great.
I do about 40 limes, then I go through some extra straining steps ending with a metal coffee filter to remove pulp. Then I freeze in 8 ounce portions. I average about 1 ounce juice per lime.
Why not get a juicer? Something like this. You just slice the orange in half and it's juiced 10 seconds later.
I use a Black and Decker citrus juicer. Did 30 limes yesterday. I strain the juice to remove pulp in two stages, ultimately through a metal coffee filter. Then I freeze the juice in 1 cup containers. Thaw those out as needed, straining (again) into an Oxo flip-top container that I keep in the fridge.
I don't know if you've purchased yet but here BLACK+DECKER JE2200B 400-Watt Fruit and Vegetable Juice Extractor with Custom Juice Cup, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003ZDNKSS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_K6-yybW44CHN2 is a good one (price/review wise) that I ordered as a beginner juicer.. Anyone have this?
I'll go with it til it dies out and then upgrade to a Breville :-)
I bought this one. Its amazing. I can put like 4 carrots at the same time or 3 small apples one on top of the other. Cleaning isn't too hard.
Jucing is amazing if you don't mind the hunger you sometimes get ohh and having to constantly go to the restroom. When I juice I illiterately lose a pound a day. Even if I have a non american size meal in the evning..

I juice celery. Usually whole bunches, but scraps work, too. Throw whatever random fruits / vegetables you have in a batch. It's always interesting, different, and healthy. Also, you can make vegetable broth if you don't want to drink it.

nah just get a small hand juicer for lemon and limes, like this electric citrus juicer. Then, use your fancy pulverizing juicer for Ginger for the best ginger syrup/moscow mules ever.
I got this juicer for under a hundred dollars and it still is. I haven't done a fast but I do drink one big veg juice a day.
I just bought this baby off Amazon for a pretty good price. (Just under about $150). It seems like a good mid range juicer, not too expensive, but still seems good quality and easy to clean. I'm a guy about your size as well... with a similar goal. As soon as this juicer arrives, I'm gonna start with a 10 day juice fast... and I still feel good, consider going for 30 days. Looking forward to kickstarting my health again. Good luck to you!
I just got this one for $100 which is something quid.
I was worries about noise too, but it's no louder then my food processor, and much quieter then my blender.
I used to have a centrifugal juicer. I've actually owned several. I've always tried to start juicing but never really got into it. They are difficult to clean, and don't get me good quantites of juice.
Then I got an Omega J8006 I'm so much happier with this one. Easier to clean so I actually use it. The pulp isn't dry but it doesn't feel like I can wring it out with my hands. I've tried redoing it a few times but didn't notice that much more juice coming out to warrant the extra effort and cleanup. (The augur seems hold most of the redone pulp, unless I have something else like a spare carrot to fed it through)
Overall best ~300'ish I've spent on a juicer. Probably spent over 800 on centrifugal juicers trying to find one that was 'good'. Its worth noting I want it for veggies and leafy greens. Juicing an orange, etc is fine in a high speed juicer, but its also fine in my slow speed juicer. This juicer also lives on my counter top. Its not too big that it has to be put elsewhere.
