First of all, juice is absolutely not required! Honestly, it's never required. Water is much, much better. Water's also not required at this point yet, though. If she has constipation troubles, I'd aim for constipation-relieving foods (raw pears, grapes, plums, etc.) and reduce constipation-causing foods (cooked apples, cooked carrots, some bananas). Until a year, breastmilk or formula is all they need for fluids.
In terms of cups, though, you could try an open cup like the Doidy cup. We've been using it since we started solids.
HELLO FELLOW BOTTLE STRUGGLER
my little lady NK (5mo) has been having similar bottle struggles. It’s exhausting and stressful. MB and I did some research and ended up ordering a Doidy Cup and let me tell you... vast improvements have been made!
It’s kind of a mess, so definitely have a bib on baby and a burp cloth or 5 at the ready. Hold baby at about a 45 degree angle in the crook of your arm, and tip the cup enough that the milk reaches her lips, and let baby suck/sip the milk into her mouth. MILK WILL SPILL, be ok with that! Start with an ounce or so at a time to avoid wasting too much formula or breast milk. I suggest a bib with one of those waterproof layers to keep her clothes dry(ish).
After 2 or 3 attempts, my NK is getting at least 80% of it down the hatch with about 75% reduction in struggling and freaking out. Also I still have to hold or swaddle her free arm down because she’ll knock the cup around with it and end up slamming the edge into her face/spilling the contents because babies do dumb shit like that.
Anyway. Doidy cup. In all 10 years as a nanny I’ve never heard of or used one but in one week I’m an evangelical believer!
Try a doidy cup! My daughter has been able to drink from one since 6 months old (assisted) and unassisted since maybe 15 months. Handles make it easy to hold and it's slanted so they don't have to tip it very much to drink.

Can you pump some and cut the formula with like 1/3 BM and slowly decrease it?
I've heard some people have success giving formula in this weird little cup:
