Beverages, Orange Juice Drink – oz to grams
An orange juice drink is a sweetened, diluted citrus beverage made with orange juice concentrate, water, and added sugars—distinct from 100% orange juice. The added sugars increase the dissolved solid content, which is why its density of 1.052 g/ml is slightly higher than both pure water (1.000) and 100% reconstituted orange juice (~1.044 g/ml). A cup of orange juice drink weighs approximately 249 g; a tablespoon weighs about 15.6 g. When substituting for 100% orange juice in a recipe, the volume-to-gram conversion is nearly the same (~5 g per cup difference), but flavor will be sweeter and less tart—adjust any added sugar accordingly.

FAQ
- Why does orange juice drink weigh more than water per cup?
- Orange juice drink (1.052 g/ml) is denser than water because it contains dissolved sugars, citric acid, and flavor compounds. These dissolved solids raise the specific gravity above 1.0, meaning every cup contains slightly more mass than a cup of pure water. The effect is amplified compared to 100% OJ because of the added sugars.
- What is the difference in weight between orange juice drink and 100% orange juice?
- Orange juice drink (1.052 g/ml, ~249 g/cup) is slightly denser than 100% reconstituted orange juice (~1.044 g/ml, ~247 g/cup)—a difference of about 5 g per cup. In most recipes this difference is negligible, but if you are working with large quantities, use the values from this page for the specific product you have.
