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.

      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

      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.
