My wife now knows not to insist on pure cranberry juice, but rather to request a 100% juice blend and not “cocktail” (the cocktail is what the juice blend goes in). I finished the battery acid myself over the course of a few weeks, out of pure Floridaman cussedness. It was not pleasant.
I remember finding out all that “Cranberry Cocktail” I used to drink had barely any actual cranberry juice in it. I felt ripped off! I want CRANBERRY! Not apple or grape. I then went out and found this pure 100% cranberry juice, feeling very victorious, ready to go home and enjoy some real tart goodness. I poured it in a glass of ice cubes, took a big swig, and OH DEAR GOD I was filled with immediate and complete regret. I had never experienced something quite so dry and bitter. My body completely rejected it.
Eventually ended up mixing just a little bit at a time with some lemonade, and it was pretty good :)
If you want a real shock, start adding sugar and keep track of how much you have to add to make it palatable. It’s basically like drinking soda.
Uh, none? Ice cubes (if it’s ice cold, it’s fantastic) for daytime, ice cubes and vodka if I have an occasion to drink
Everyone that has tried 100% cran.
It should be sold in chemical supply houses, or maybe restaurant supply houses, but at any rate, it needs to come in a white bottle with black letters and be sold from something called a “supply house.”
It turns out there’s a newer category that still does the apple and white grape juice, but only that, not the high fructose corn syrup and water from Cranberry Juice Cocktail. I believe the blend is done to skew it more cranberryish as well. That’s apparently what my wife was thinking of.
Well now I want to try 100% cranberry juice. I can drink it while picking cranberries in Stardew Valley.
HA! I imagine your session might get a lot less “cozy”. Good luck, brave one!
You pick your own fruit in stardew?
I went through this PRECISE experience.
Ice. You need ice.
Edit the universe tells me I also need vodka
