1. It's GOOD FOR YOU!
Dilute it with sparkling water and add sugar or honey to taste. INSTANT SOFT DRINK! (No aspertame).

3. I'm gonna have to
but drinking it straight is gross. Even the vodka isn't cutting the taste.

2. It goes great with Gin or Vodka...
As the saying goes, "When given cranberry juice, get fucked up."

8. Add a bit of honey
and some liquor.

(Most would add vodka or gin but my friends used to mix it with Golden Grain. Yes, they now have brain damage.)

13. that should work.
and they wouldn't care if it dissolved or not. A few of my friends just like honey-seems like they used to pour it on the rim of the glass or something.

I don't know-I was never crazy enough to join them on their Golden Grain binges.

I'm out of cranberry juice, though. Guess I'll have to mix up a black russian.

14. cut it with sprite or 7-up as well.

I don't like cranberry juice either, but it's quite refreshing with these.

15. Yum
Where did you find 100% cranberry juice? I can't get it unless it is cut with another fruit.

16. MIx it with apple juice
It really is so much better for you than cranberry cocktail that is full of high fructose corn syrup.
