The Juicy Gaggle is a raspberry in Pikmin 3. These fruits produce only a measly half bottle of juice (a quarter in Ultra-Spicy mode), similar to a Cupid's Grenade. There are four of them total in Pikmin 3's story mode, but are more common in Mission Mode, appearing many times despite only being worth 20 points.
Collecting the fruit
The following article or section contains guides. The strategies shown are just suggestions.

Twilight River
The trio of Juicy Gaggles in the Twilight River's cave.
A group of three are behind a body of water in a cave containing three Water Dumples and a blue 10 pellet. As such, it is recommended to bring Blue Pikmin. Winged Pikmin can collect the fruit too and are found in the same area. This is risky because there is an Arachnode above the entrance to the area with the fruits and can be hard to see because it's dark in this area. If Winged Pikmin are used, the Arachnode must be killed or the Winged Pikmin will get stuck in its web and drop the fruit, but Blue Pikmin will walk under the web and won't get stuck at all. Bomb rocks can also be used to kill the Arachnode.
Tropical Wilds
The Juicy Gaggle in the Tropical Wilds.
The fourth and final Juicy Gaggle is inside a Medusal Slurker which is hidden inside a tree stump, accessible via seesaw blocks. Have one leader go on the other platform, and throw some Pikmin to the ledge the seesaw block rises up to. Then throw at least two Yellow Pikmin on the Bouncy Mushroom using a different leader. Switch to the now raised leader, and have them take at least one Pikmin to destroy the Spotcaps blocking the path to it. Then proceed to defeat the Medusal Slurker, which is in the tree stump, indicated by the hole in the ground. It is recommended to bring Rock Pikmin to take care of the Slurker, as they can make quick work of it.
Notes
Brittany's notes
“Finally! Something on this planet that isn't gigantic! These little red globes are the perfect size for Koppaite hands, and the juice inside makes a good meal. I bet these'll be a lunch-box favorite back home.”

Trivia
The result of combining Juicy Gaggle and Zest Bomb juice.
- If the player obtains a Juicy Gaggle and a Zest Bomb consecutively such that both juices are combined into the same bottle, the result will be a weird cyan color, as explained here.
