When preparing “homemade” juice from tomatoes, the choice of tomato variety depends on the preferences of the purveyor. Some like it sweet, some a little sour. Someone likes thick with a lot of pulp, while someone prefers “water”. You can use “rejection” for juice: small and ugly tomatoes that will look bad in home preservation, or, conversely, too large and non-standard. But a mandatory requirement when making juice is the degree of ripeness of the tomatoes.
The latter give a tasteless juice 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 suitable, fans of “thick” 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.

Conclusion
The hostess decides which varieties of tomatoes to choose for juice, but the density of the juice will depend not only on the variety, but also on the diligence of the purveyor. Liquid juice will turn out if you are not zealous when squeezing already cooked tomatoes. If you want to get thick juice, you will have to work hard, rubbing boiled tomatoes through a very fine sieve, through which only boiled pulp can pass. In this case, it is necessary to wipe until almost dry skin and seeds remain in the sieve. Everything else must pass through the sieve holes.
