Does a cranberry juice really tastes a li'l bitter?

Question

Coz it's my first time to drink cranberry juice for my UTI & just wanna be sure if it's not expired yet.

Answer 1

I think it has a very bitter taste. I never liked it as a kid and only now that my tastes have matured can I appreciate it but it still has to be sweetened for me to enjoy it. You can take cranberry pills too for a UTI if you hate the juice. I don't know if you knew that.

Sorry to hear that you're unwell, get better soon :)

Answer 2

Yeah - i cant stand it, but have to drink it sometimes (for reasons not unlike yours!!) - i NEVER drink it for pleasure!

Hope that helps! x

Answer 3

yeah a tad.

Answer 4

Yes, not the sweetest of drinks. If you find you don't take easily to it, mix it with orange or any other flavour you like it, or even make it part of a smoothie.

Answer 5

A little but it's good so don't worry about it.

Answer 6

Cranberry juice tastes very bitter and sour.  That's why you cannot find pure cranberry juice anywhere.  They add sugar and/or more bland fruit juices like white grape or apple to it to make it drinkable.

Answer 7

I think it is more sour than bitter. But I don't think yours has expired.

Answer 8

Yes it does taste bitter and I don't like it.  You can also get it in tablet form which you can buy at the health food shops and that way you don't have to taste it.  Probably more concentrated as well, so would work quicker.
