The Best Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice Flavors, Ranked

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at BU chapter.

Anyone who has been to my apartment knows that I always have Cranberry juice. I pride myself on the fact that I have tried nearly all of the cranberry juice flavors that Ocean Spray makes. I have some favorites, and want everyone know which ones they should buy.

And for those of you who don’t like cranberry juice, I can’t comprehend. Not only is it delicious and tart, but it’s has some functional food properties (and helps with a UTI). 

1. Cranberry Juice Cocktail

Come on, this is the OG, how could it not be the best? It’s crisp and tart, and is my personal favorite when mixed with a little sparkling water. 

2. White Cran Strawberry

After basic cranberry juice, I have to say this is my favorite. For those who don’t mess with the tartness of the original, this is a slightly sweeter option. The white cranberry flavor is amazing, and I have to say this one tastes a bit like Kiwi Strawberry Capri Sun. 

3. Cranberry Apple

There’s something sensation about cranberry juice and apple juice together. The flavors pair perfectly because I assume they use tart green apples, a match made in heaven.

4. White Cranberry

Like I mentioned before, the white cranberry is a much milder flavor. If you’re looking for something sweet and tasty, this is the way to go.

5. White Cranberry Peach

Just going to say this tastes like paradise.

6. Cranberry Lemonade

I tried the diet version of this, with only 5 calories per serving, I have to say it was good. I haven’t tasted the original version, so I can’t compare, but the diet version is a lovely beverage. 

7. Cranberry Tangerine

I was excited to try this one and actually bought it while the juices were 5 for $5 at my grocery store. I’m a fan of tangerines already, so the mix of sweet citrus and tart cranberries make a good combination.

8. Cranberry Pomegranate

I like to think of this as POM Wonderful meets OceanSpray. But, the pomegranate juice was overpowered in flavor by the cranberry juice.

9. Cranberry Pineapple

Talk about a new twist to your piña colada. I am not a huge fan of pineapple juice, I am more of a fresh pineapple kind of girl. This preference might explain why this one didn’t make the top five. But, it’s reminiscent of the tropics if you’re into that. 

10. CranRaspberry

I may get some heat for this one, but what can I say, I am just not a raspberry fan. The raspberry taste overshadows the cranberry and was too much for me to handle. If you love raspberry, though, by all means…

Now that you have seen the complete list, try one or all of Ocean Spray’s flavors. I’ll let you be the judge of which is your favorite since there are a unbelievable number of varieties.
