White cranberry juice?

Regional Dining Discussions Boston, New England

Has anyone seen white cranberry juice (not juice cocktail) around? I admit I haven’t scoured eastern MA in its entirety, but I have checked multiple Trader Joes, Whole Foods, and Shaws/Star.

Could it actually be available at Stop & Shop or Market Basket? Or if you see it anywhere else preferably on the northwestern quadrant of the 128/95 perimeter, please let me know! I just realized I haven’t checked Wilson or Pemberton Farms, so if you’re stopping by one of those soon, please take a look. Thanks.

I am not in your area, but I clicked because I recently realized I could only find a blend! (I’m in a suburb in Northern California).

Is there a white cranberry that is just cranberry? Do you know who makes it?

Based on what I’m seeing near me (Tewksbury area) looks like Walmart and Stop & Shop might be your best bets.

I’ve heard it is made from the berry insides (no skin) and trés expensive. I’ve never seen it for sale. Maybe a liquor store?

I have spotted things like Ocean Spray White Cranberry Juice Drink and Ocean Spray White Cranberry Strawberry Juice in stores or online it seems white cranberry variants do pop up sometimes in the juice aisle especially in the natural/organic section or at places like Market Basket/Walmart. Many folks also report it can be hit-or-miss locally, so calling ahead before a trip might save you time

It’s listed at nearby Shaw’s and Star markets on the South Shore. It’s the Ocean Spray brand.

Adding that it also is showing up online at a Total Wine outlet on the South Shore, which may make sense of it’s popular in cocktails. Maybe check a local liquor store?

I saw this at the small Stop and Shop in Somerville MA (@ Rt 16 and Powderhouse) today. Not sure that this is what you really want - a look at the ingredient list shows that it is a lot of water, sugar, grape juice, THEN cranberry juice and finally some additives.

Does pure white cranberry juice actually exist as a commercial product??

That’s the one I have! I’ve read one of the variables is sugar from other juices, called a “juice drink” or “blend”, vs sugar from a cane or similar, called a “cocktail”.

I’ve also read the juice is white because the berries are immature.

I guess I should have emphasized I’m looking for 100% white cranberry juice not “juice cocktail” or “juice drink”. I’m certain I’ve gotten it before, but it’s been many years. But I think I’ve given up. I’ve even looked on Amazon and searched Google: no dice. I think I’ll just try it with the juice cocktail. I’ll report back if I ever find the real deal.

Oh and by the way: is ponam45 AI? What the heck was that?
