When making homemade tomato juice, the choice of tomato variety depends on the preferences of the supplier. Someone likes sweetish, someone a little sour. Someone likes thick with a lot of pulp, and someone prefers "water". For juice, you can use "rejection": small and ugly tomatoes that will look bad in home preservation, or, conversely, too large and non-standard. But a prerequisite for juicing is the degree of ripeness of the tomatoes.
The latter give tasteless juice that is not saturated in color.
If different varieties of tomatoes are planted on the site, you can try to combine them in different proportions, creating an "author's" bouquet of taste, since each variety usually has its own aroma and taste.
For lovers of "liquid" juice, not too fleshy varieties of "cherry" are very well suited, fans of "thick" juice can choose salad tomatoes for themselves. In this case, you must not overdo it with "meatiness". A tomato with "sugar" pulp is not able to give a lot of juice.
