Story

This is a good way to drink real 100% cranberry juice, which is typically too tart to drink without mixing it with something.
The super sweet flavor of watermelon compliments the cranberry juice very well. This combination is perfect for a hot summer day, especially for folks who want to have their drinks on the healthy side. No soda, very little added sugar... all nutrition! SO very good for you!
You can also throw it in the freezer and let it get a little slushie before you enjoy. And, of course, you can add a splash of sparkle if you wish with some Ginger Ale or other bubbly beverage.
