While I realize "Will you give the fruit juice to me?" is a very literal translation, is it actually wrong?

The issue you have here is that it is not a specific direct object (there is no accusative case). It cannot be "the fruit juice." We already accept it with "fruit juice" although, admittedly, we did not have the "to me" construction, which I have now added :) Thanks for the heads up!

Oh, I thought it was the "to me" construction I got wrong. It didn't occur to me the -yu suffix made it "fruit's water" or "juice", but didn't put it in the accusative case. Thank you!
