Cranergy Energy Juice Drink: Cranberry Lift

Cranberry Lift

Last Updated: 2/26/2008 1:36 PM

BevNET Review: Ocean Spray's entry into the energy drink category drinks a lot like cranberry juice, which is really no surprise given this company's background. Really though, this product isn't that far from what you normally see in an Ocean Spray beverage. There's cranberry and grape juices, sweetened with splenda and enhanced with green tea and B vitamins for "natural energy." The resulting combination is tart and mildly sweet, with a bitter finish that's part artificial sweetener and part green tea. It's not a bad taste, but it's hard to see this as being credible beyond the juice aisle. Furthermore, we think that Ocean Spray has been a bit too conservative with the appearance, failing to differentiate it from their other products.

addictive! (in a good way!)

I love this stuff and am upset because I can't get the 24-bottle cases at Sam's Club anymore. I've quit drinking soda and really get thirsty for Cranergy drink. It quenches my thirst and I really like the added health benefit of cranberry juice. It's sweeter than just cranberry juice, but not too sweet. I think it's perfect!

Excellent boost

I have a demanding life in the military and I have been searching for something that would give me a boost without a crash. Enter Cranergy. I like this product even more since I found it at the local swapmeet for $1 / 46oz bottle! One cup maybe two is all I need per day.

enough caffeine to kill a horse

Keep in mind they pumped this drink up with concentrated green tea extract- the result is one bottle of Cranergy contains more caffeine than a cup of coffee.. This poor lady thought she was having a heart attack after using this to keep her "hydrated" during workouts- http://www.kirotv.com/money/17370234/detail.html

I was excited about Cranergy

I have been looking for a substitute for the Rockstars and Monsters that I am so hooked on and i love cranberry juice. I thought Cranergy was the dream beverage until I read it was sweetened with Splenda aka sucrolose. I can't get near that stuff without breaking out in a nasty rash. And apparently I'm not alone. I've discovered websites dedicated to the reactions people have to sucralose. With photos! I realize that there are enough people on the planet who don't react to it to make a beverage sweetened with sucralose profitable but I wish you would come up with an alternative.

I really like this. It tastes just like juice but it gives me the energy of a pop, with out of calories and sugar.

energizing!
5 stars5 stars5 stars5 stars5 stars

forget the energy drinks that give me a crash, or make me jittery and almost foggy. this gives me energy to make it through the day, its great. plus, if you like cranberry juice, this is the greatest, there are no additional tastes other than juice.
