Old Orchard Apple Juice Cocktail is a fruit juice beverage produced by Old Orchard Brands, a company known for its wide range of juices and juice blends. Here's what you should know about it:

Key Features:

1. Juice Blend:

   • Unlike 100% apple juice, an "apple juice cocktail" typically contains apple juice mixed with water, sweeteners (like sugar or high-fructose corn syrup), and sometimes additional fruit juices for flavor.

2. Sweetened Flavor:

   • Apple juice cocktails are often sweeter than pure apple juice, appealing to those who enjoy a sweeter beverage.

3. Versatility:

   • Can be enjoyed on its own as a refreshing drink.
   • Used as a mixer in cocktails or punches.
   • A base for cooking, such as in marinades or glazes.

4. Packaging and Availability:

   • Typically sold in bottles or cartons and available in many grocery stores.
   • Often marketed as a family-friendly, affordable juice option.

5. Nutritional Content:

   • Contains vitamin C (ascorbic acid), which is often added as a preservative.
   • May have added sugars, so it’s not as low-calorie as 100% juice options.

If you're looking for a beverage with fewer added sugars or a pure apple flavor, check the label for "100% Apple Juice" rather than "Apple Juice Cocktail."
