Cranberry juice

Cranberry juice

Cranberry juice is used in many well-known cocktails, such as Cosmopolitan or Sex on the Beach or simply mixed with vodka and ice.

Rich in natural antioxidants, cranberries often yield a bitter juice. For this reason, many commercial brands of cranberry juice contain sugar, are mixed with apple juice, or are based on concentrate.

Fresh cranberries are much harder to buy than apples or oranges. You will find it is easier to simply buy a good brand of cranberry juice, ensuring it features a high enough proportion of natural cranberry juice.
