My Smoking Brothers.....looking for a good injection recipe for a 9 pound pork butt. I'd prefer not to "experiment" with a recipe I randomly pull off the internet. No fears about trying one out from this site.
 
I'll have to let some others weight in, I don't inject pork butt.  They seem to stay plenty moist without.
 
I agree with you that the meat is moist. I'm just experimenting with different flavor profiles.
 
I go straight apple juice. Stay away from anything acid
Vinager or pineapple juice. It will make the meat mushy
Here is a SURPRISE for you!...JJ

Approximate pH...

Lemon Juice      2.0-2.6

Cider Vinegar    3.1-3.3

Pineapple Juice  3.3-3.6

Orange Juice     3.3-4.2

Apple Juice        3.3-4.0

 The Same pH, just more sugar.

If I'm going to inject, I simmer some of the rub in apple juice for a few minutes, cool it down in the fridge and use that as an injection.
 
equal parts, Pineapple juice, Kahlua, and Malibu rum.... add a little rub to it, let set for an hour before injecting.
