What You Should Know

Simply Cranberry Cocktail is a large-format, 52 fl oz clear plastic bottle of tart-sweet cranberry beverage often found in the refrigerated juice aisle or cooler near other Simply brand juices, lemonades, and mixers. It sits alongside chilled fruit drinks, cocktail mixers and family-sized juice bottles rather than in the fresh produce section. Shoppers reach for it when packing for brunch, stocking up for holiday gatherings, or grabbing a familiar juice to keep in the fridge for daily breakfasts and beverage mixing. The Simply brand positions itself as an approachable, “made with real fruit” option — marketing leans into an all-natural, no-nonsense aesthetic with claims like “never from concentrate,” “pure filtered water,” and a “Fresh Taste Guarantee,” although there is no organic certification on the label. The product carries a health-halo from those natural claims even though cane sugar and “natural flavors” are added. In plain terms the drink is a processed juice beverage: blended, pasteurized and stabilized for shelf life with added sweetener and flavoring. Sensory notes are straightforward — a bright cranberry-red liquid, thin pourable texture with a clear tartness balanced by noticeable sweetness from cane sugar, served chilled over ice or used as a mixer for cocktails and mocktails. Packaging is utilitarian: a translucent PET bottle with bold red labeling that emphasizes simplicity and real fruit. Rituals include morning pours with breakfast, holiday punch assembly, or bartending for cocktail hour — a familiar, convenient staple in many American refrigerators.

Common Questions about Simply Cranberry Juice

Well, that depends on your definition of healthy! Simply Cranberry Juice is made with real cranberry juice and cane sugar, so it does have some vitamins and antioxidants from the cranberries. However, it also packs a hefty sugar punch with 28 grams of added sugars per serving, so while it can be a refreshing treat, it’s best enjoyed in moderation.
