Ocean Spray Ruby Red Grapefruit Cranberry Juice Drink
What it is
This is a blended juice drink made from concentrate. It combines the tartness of cranberries with the bright, slightly bitter flavor of ruby red grapefruit. The "from concentrate" label means that water has been removed from the fruit juice and then added back during processing. This method is common for shelf-stable beverages. It offers a refreshing taste profile that is both familiar and unique.
