Beverages, Ocean Spray, Cran Raspberry Juice Drink: How Many Grams in a Tablespoon?
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.

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.
