This juice is NOT Cocktail and contains no sweetener. Buyer beware! Cranberries are sour little things. They are also, for me, at least, a great alternative to constant dosing with antibiotics for chronic UTIs. I mix the juice about 1/5 with seltzer or San Pellegrino. Over a period of several months, my UTI disappeared. I cannot prove anything but co-relation, but I will continue to buy this juice weekly. It is also refreshing when diluted this way.

Isn’t that a long time to have a UTI. A few months?

THIS IS A PUBLIC HEALTH ANNOUNCEMENT: A doctor can give you medicine to help you clear up a UTI in a day or two (usually one dose is enough but you must take about a week’s worth to make sure the infection is fully gone). An untreated UTI can in some cases turn into sepsis and result in death. A few months is way too long to let an infection go untreated.

Unless you have the sugar obsessed taste buds of a toddler, this is one of the best tart juices on the market. Healthy & affordable!

No doubts about the healthy traits of this juice. I find it disturbing that there is 0% vitamin C in the label.

Ohmygosh I hated this. I love 100% cranberry juice with no added sugar, but this tasted like straight SALT to me. Not pucker-y or sour, but SALT. It was horrible. Ugh.

Agree with other reviewers. I like unsweetened juices yet I just tasted this for the first time and would’ve thrown it out thinking it was tainted had I not read these reviews—almost tastes like straight vinegar! “TART” is putting it mildly. I’m going to chase with sparkling water—at least 50:50; otherwise, I believe it is so acidic it might blow a hole straight through my esophagus! (Funny, not funny.) Seriously. Will not buy again. Ever.

This stuff is great! You just need to know how to drink it.
I always end up diluting cranberry cocktail because it’s too sweet. With this I can control the juice concentration and sweetness. I find a 1:10 ratio of juice to water to be perfect, followed by eight drops of 25% Sucralose, and ice in a 32oz glass.
Wal-Mart sells Knudsen-branded juice in the exact same bottle, with the exact same printing on the lid, making me believe they are from the same producer. Trader Joe’s bottle costs $3.99, while the Knudsen at Wal-Mart is $7.54.

I am doing a project where I review one Trader Joe’s project per day for all of 2015. This juice is one of the FEW products that got a ZERO rating – the worst possible. You can read the review here: http://traderjoes365.blogspot.com/2015/06/day-163-100-cranberry-juice.html
