Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice

Ocean Spray® cranberry juice provides the basic ingredient for many different types of Ocean Spray juices and sparkling and cocktail soft drinks. Pure cranberry juice is tart and tangy, so it blends well with other less tart or sweeter fruits for a more balanced taste. Many Ocean Spray juices made of cranberries and fruit blends contain good levels of vitamin C, as well as magnesium, phosphorus, calcium, and potassium. Ocean Spray pasteurizes all of its juices to make them bacteria-free for consumers.

Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice and Others Are Available as 100 Percent Juice
Ocean Spray offers pure cranberry juice or pure cranberry juice blended with other pure fruit juices. The other juices include cherry, pineapple, Concord grape, mango, pomegranate, raspberry, and grapefruit, including ruby-red grapefruit. All the blends contain juice from at least one cup of fruit, with no sugar added. Each has different levels of natural sweetness, calories, and nutrients, depending on the fruit used. All of Ocean Spray's pure fruit juices provide 100 percent of the daily value requirement of vitamin C per 8-ounce serving.

Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice Is Also Part of a Lineup of Cocktail-Style Soft Drinks
Ocean Spray makes juice cocktails that blend cranberry and fruit concentrates with water, yielding a less fruit-dense juice. They contain the same fruits that comprise the 100 percent juice products, with the addition of apples, white cranberries, limes, and lemons (as lemonade). The cocktails get the sweetness from the natural sugars found in the fruits. Ocean Spray Mocktail soft-drink beverages are made with the juice of cranberries mixed into peach-bellini, pineapple and apple sangria, and tropical fruit citrus blends. These nonalcoholic drinks contain about 2 percent of required daily vitamin C intake.

Are Low-Calorie Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice Drinks Available?
Ocean Spray makes low-calorie light and diet juice drinks with cranberry and other juice blends. Each contains sucralose as the sweetener. Light juice drinks contain a blend of cranberry with pomegranate or raspberry juice. They contain just 50 calories per 8-ounce serving, with half the sugar content of regular cocktail blends. Diet drinks consist of cranberry-only and cranberry blended with Concord grape, mango, pineapple, cherry, or lemonade. They have only 5 calories per 8-ounce serving. The diet drinks provide 100 percent of daily intake of vitamin C. Ocean Spray states that both light and diet drinks are suitable for persons with diabetes.

What Are Some Other Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice Options?
Both Cran-Energy™ drinks and sparkling juice blends are available from Ocean Spray, each with all-cranberry or cranberry and fruit juice blends. The energy drinks contain naturally caffeinated green tea extract and five B vitamins, with no added sugar. They offer 100 percent daily intake of vitamin C.
