Steps:
- Add honey. It's nice and sweet, and if you use raw honey, it has several health benefits of its own. Just make sure you add the honey when the juice is cool.
- Mix it with another fruit juice. Apple juice, orange juice, grape juice, pear juice, pomegranate juice, and pineapple juice are all great options.
- Use sweeteners. Add one sweetener at a time and taste the juice before deciding to add more. I found I only needed one per glass.
- Dilute the juice with water/soda water. If you like the taste of the cranberry juice but find it a bit too strong, try diluting it with water or soda water. You can also use tonic water (diet is best) or coconut water for a bit of a variation.
- Add some lemon or lime juice. Lemon or lime juice enhances the taste of the cranberry juice and at the same time takes the edge off the tartness.I wasn't a fan of using lemon juice by itself, but when I added a few drops to a glass of diluted cranberry juice or cranberry juice with honey, it helped to brighten the flavor.
- Add some salt. This might seem like a strange option, but salt suppresses the juice's bitter taste and brings out some natural sweetness.You only need a tiny amount, as the salt can quickly become overpowering. A small pinch per glass is enough.
- Add cucumber or celery. Doing so helps balance the sourness of the cranberries, but I would advise diluting the drink as well as adding the cucumber or celery. This mellows the drink out even more.
- Use the cranberry juice in a smoothie. If you're determined to get cranberry juice into your diet but can't stand the taste, even after adding something sweet, a smoothie could be what you're looking for. Mix the cranberry juice in with your favorite fruits and a bit of milk or yogurt. You won't even know it's there!
- It takes a significant amount of sugar to overpower the tart and sour flavors of natural cranberry juice.
- For my taste (which I'd say is pretty average), I added 5g of sugar per 100ml of cranberry juice. But you could get away with less.
- Heat the cranberry juice ever so slightly to make sure the sugar dissolves. This should take no more than a few seconds on the stove on a low heat.
- If you are making cranberry juice at home, a better idea is to add the sugar directly when you are making the juice.
