Many people drink prune juice chilled, straight from the carton or glass. It can be a refreshing addition to breakfast or a calming drink in the evening.

Some chefs use it as a base for glazes or marinades, especially for pork or poultry, where its natural sweetness and slight tang can complement savory dishes.
