Beverages, Ocean Spray, Cran Raspberry Juice Drink: mL to Grams Conversion
Ocean Spray Cran-Raspberry juice drink is a cranberry-raspberry blend with a density of 1.048 g/ml, noticeably denser than water due to its sugar content of approximately 28-32 g per serving. One US cup weighs approximately 248 g and one tablespoon about 15.5 g. The drink combines tart cranberry juice with sweeter raspberry flavoring, producing a bright red-pink liquid used in cocktail mixing, fruit punch recipes, popsicle molds, and as a poaching liquid for pears or stone fruits. Its density matches that of many full-sugar juice drinks and carbonated sodas, so weighing ensures accurate sugar accounting when the juice is part of a recipe rather than consumed straight.

This converter uses the real density of Beverages, Ocean Spray, Cran Raspberry Juice Drink so every measurement is accurate.
Measurement notes
Values are rounded to the nearest whole gram. Actual weight can vary slightly with compaction, temperature, and brand. For precision baking, a kitchen scale is always more reliable than volume measurements.
FAQ
- How does the density of Ocean Spray Cran-Raspberry compare to their diet cranberry juice?
- Cran-Raspberry (1.048 g/ml) is significantly denser than Ocean Spray Diet Cranberry Juice (1.002 g/ml) because the cran-raspberry product contains full sugar (high-fructose corn syrup or sugar), while the diet version uses non-caloric sweeteners that add minimal mass. A cup of cran-raspberry weighs about 248 g versus 237 g for the diet product, a difference of 11 g driven almost entirely by dissolved sugar.
- Can I reduce the sugar impact by diluting this juice in recipes?
- Yes. Diluting with water at a 1:1 ratio by weight (248 g juice + 237 g water) yields approximately 485 g of liquid at roughly 1.024 g/ml, halving the sugar concentration per cup. For gelatin or sorbet recipes, this dilution also lowers the dissolved solids, which will produce a softer set or higher freezing point respectively.
