As a creature of habit, when I find something I like, I stick with it. I remember in high school I was obsessed with Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice. I mean, seriously obsessed. When my boyfriend at the time wanted to make me happy he used to bring me a bottle of cranberry juice. That’s right – not flowers… juice. And you know what? It did make me happy.

When I think cranberry juice, I think Ocean Spray. (Doesn’t everyone?) But when I think lemonade, I think, well… I don’t really know what I’ve always associated with lemonade, but from now on that, too, will be Ocean Spray. Why? Because Ocean Spray has just come out with a new juice drink, Cran-Lemonade. And it’s delicious.

It’s the perfect combination of sweet and tart. It’s summery and refreshing. It’s what I am going to bring to my parents’ house and stock in their refrigerator so I can enjoy it in their back yard while I take in the view all summer long.

That will make me very happy. I guess it’s just an Ocean Spray thing!
