Both of these mean the same thing. They are worded differently, but mean the same thing.

I agree that these two sentences have equal meaning in this context.
Most = greatest in amount, extent, or degree
Best = greatest, most, surpassing all others
I would say:
What kind of juice do you like best ?
This is a qualitative word that is... it is concerned with the greatest in quality not quantity
What kind of juice do you like most?
This is a quantative word which is more concerned with amount than how good it tastes
Therefore, the word best is the most appropriate word to use if you want to convey the importance of quality over quantity ... otherwise use most.
I would rephrase the question as:
What is your favourite juice? This avoids any problems associated with both of the above words.
To be honest .. I thought the question was actually asking me my favourite juice so I will tell you anyway lol it is peach juice followed by pineapple lol
I am sure you really wanted to know that hahaha

Here are some more examples, in case you need further explanation:
Best: in a most excellent way or manner; "he played best after a couple of martinis"
Most: most(a): (superlative of many' used with count nouns and often preceded by
the') quantifier meaning the greatest in number; "who has the most apples?"; "most people like eggs"; "most fish' have fins"
