Ocean Spray Diet Juice, Cranberry Lemonade

Ocean Spray Diet Cran-Lemonade (64 fl oz) is a large-format, low-calorie juice drink you’ll find in the refrigerated or shelf-stable juice and beverage aisle, shelved near other juice blends, diet mixers and flavored waters — often adjacent to Ocean Spray’s regular juices and diet sodas. It’s positioned for shoppers who want big cranberry flavor without sugar: marketed as a diet cranberry-lemonade made from real juice concentrates and fortified with vitamin C, the label leans on the brand’s cooperative heritage and bright, tart imagery. The bottle copy and graphics emphasize “real fruit juice” and “only 5 calories,” creating a health-halo that appeals to calorie-conscious adults, parents seeking a flavorful kid-friendly option, and hosts looking for a low-calorie mixer. The label uses “natural flavors” and fruit-forward language but carries no organic or non-GMO certification. In plain processing terms, this is an industrially formulated drink: fruit juice concentrates blended with acids, stabilizers, gums, artificial sweeteners and color additives. Sensory experience is a clear, thin liquid with a sharp tartness from cranberry and lemon, a slight syrupy mouthfeel from added gums and pectin, and an overall crisp, intensely flavored finish; served chilled over ice, it’s commonly used as a standalone refreshment, a cocktail or mocktail mixer, or a party pitcher base. The ritual is casual — pour from the large plastic bottle into glasses for barbecues, game days or everyday lunches. It fits American grocery culture as a convenient, branded compromise between pure juice and diet soda.
