We have reached that point in the year where it’s literally impossible to keep up with all the holiday goodies hitting shelves at Trader Joe’s. That’s in a non-COVID year. I’m shopping once a week, so it’s sort of luck of the draw on what’s in, and I’m mostly focusing on what’s new this year. Today, it’s Trader Joe’s Sparkling Cranberry Ginger Beverage.
This one clocks in at 8% juice, heavy on the ginger, light on the cranberry. So if you’re thinking Cosmos, you’re gonna want more cranberry. Otherwise, it’s tasty, it’s got a great color. In the overall ranking of Trader Joe’s canned sparkling juices/drinks, it falls somewhere in the middle for me.
I think the ranking looks like this (fave to nah):
Sparkling Strawberry Juice
Sparkling Honeycrisp Apple Juice
Sparkling Black Tea with Peach Juice
Sparkling Cranberry Ginger Beverage
Sparkling Strawberry Rhubarb Soda
Sparkling Lemon Elderflower Soda
HATED IT: Sparkling Hibiscus Lemongrass Beverage
