Ocean Spray Diet Juice, Cranberry Cherry Cocktail

Ocean Spray Diet Cran-Cherry is a large, 64 fl oz cran-berry cherry juice drink positioned where grocery shoppers expect convenient, low-calorie beverages: in the juice and non-alcoholic mixers aisle, often shelved near other juice cocktails, diet drinks, and cocktail mixers. It reads like a party-ready pantry staple for people who want bright fruit flavor without sugar — occasions range from casual brunches and at-home happy hours to family dinners when someone wants a low-calorie mixer. The brand leans on heritage co-op messaging and Americana farm provenance, marketed toward adults who remember Ocean Spray from childhood but now prioritize fewer calories; the tone is optimistic and practical, blending nostalgia with modern diet cues. The label leans into health halos — prominent diet and calorie claims, an "excellent source of vitamin C" callout, and language that it is made from real fruit juice — while also displaying artificial color names and sweeteners in the ingredients list; there is no organic certification and the packaging is not explicitly kid-focused, though the bright red/pink label and playful copy can appeal to families. In plain processing terms this is a highly processed, shelf-stable juice drink made from reconstituted concentrates with added acids, stabilizers, artificial sweeteners and colors. Sensory notes: thin, waterlike body with a sharp, tart cranberry backbone and cherry sweetness, a clean acidic bite from added citric/fumaric/malic acids, and a somewhat cooling sweet finish from sucralose/acesulfame. Packaging is a convenient plastic jug with a screw cap, poured into a glass over ice as a mixer or sipped straight from a cup in everyday routines.
