Ocean Spray ZERO Sugar Tropical Punch Juice Drink, Bottle 64 fl oz
Ocean Spray ZERO Sugar Tropical Punch Juice Drink in the 64 fl oz (1.89L) multi-serve bottle is a bold, fruit-forward beverage designed to deliver an exotic flavor experience with none of the sugar or calories found in traditional punches. This variety blends the tartness of cranberries—the brand's signature—with a vibrant mix of pineapple, orange, and cherry notes for a "vacation-style" refreshment.
Core Ingredients
The formula is crafted to provide a robust, "heavy-hitter" flavor without the syrupy weight of high-fructose corn syrup:
-
Filtered Water: The primary base that ensures the drink is light and crisp.
-
Cranberry Juice (Concentrate): Provides the foundational "zing" and a natural source of antioxidants.
-
Natural Tropical Flavors: A proprietary blend that incorporates essences of Pineapple, Orange, and Cherry to create the classic "punch" profile.
-
Citric Acid & Sodium Citrate: Used to balance the tartness of the cranberry with the sweetness of the tropical notes.
-
Natural Sweeteners: Typically uses a combination of Sucralose and Acesulfame Potassium (Ace-K) to achieve a full, candy-like sweetness with zero sugar.
-
Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C): Added to provide a significant daily boost of this essential nutrient.
