And to me, Any sounds better than Any will do.
We don’t use any alone as answers.
What day shall I come? Any day. (Not Any.)
Quoted from Practical English Usage, by Michael Swan.
I agree. As an alternative you could respond with ‘Your choice’ or ‘You choose for me please’ or ‘What would you recommend’?
Yes, but, in this case, there are three choices. In any will do I don’t find what you say. Anyway, what I suggested is used only in informal or spoken contexts.
Shall we ask like this - Would you like to have coffee, tea or juice? Yes, I like to have juice.
