The Complete Guide
How To Mix It
The basic mix is 2 tablespoons (1 fl oz) of concentrate to 6 to 8 fl oz of cold liquid. Start there, then add more or less to taste.
| You want | Concentrate | Liquid |
|---|---|---|
| One glass | 2 tbsp (1 fl oz) | 6 to 8 fl oz water, seltzer or lemonade |
| A pitcher | 1/2 cup (4 fl oz) | 3 to 4 cups cold water |
| Smoothie | 1 to 2 tbsp | Blend with fruit, yogurt and milk |
| Over yogurt or oatmeal | 1 to 2 tsp | Drizzle on top |
Tips And Common Mistakes
- Shake the bottle first. Natural fruit solids can settle.
- Too sour? Use more water, mix it with apple juice or lemonade, or add a little honey.
- Measure it. It is strong. Pouring by eye often makes a drink that is too tart.
- Watch for stains. The deep red juice can stain fabric and counters, so wipe spills right away.
Who It's For
- People who enjoy tart cherry flavor and want a drink with no added sugar
- Anyone who wants a fruit base for spritzers, smoothies, ice pops and sauces
- Families who want one bottle to make many glasses, mixed to their own strength

Questions About This Product
The things people actually want to know before they cook with it.
Is this the same as tart cherry juice?
It is the same fruit, but concentrated. One fluid ounce mixed with 6 to 8 oz of water makes a glass of ready-to-drink tart cherry juice, which is why a 16 oz bottle gives about 16 drinks.
Is it sugar-free?
No. There is no added sugar, but the cherries have their own natural fruit sugar, 14 grams per ounce of concentrate.
What is the difference between tart cherry and black cherry juice?
Tart cherry is made from Montmorency cherries, which are sour and deep red. Black cherry juice is made from sweet cherries and tastes much milder. They are not interchangeable in flavor; this one is sharp enough that it needs diluting.
How much should I drink?
The label serving is 1 fl oz of concentrate, about 2 tablespoons, mixed into a glass of water. Most people have it once or twice a day. Start with one and see how you like the tartness.
Can I drink it straight?
You can, but it is very intense and acidic. It is designed to be diluted, and most people find it unpleasant neat.
How long does it keep after opening?
Refrigerate it with the cap tight and go by the date on the bottle. Because it is concentrated and acidic it keeps longer than ready-to-drink juice, typically several weeks.
