Ocean Spray has unveiled two new cranberry products in time for the festive season, expanding its drinks and sauces portfolio with both limited-edition and permanent additions.

The Cranberry Winter Spice drink blends cranberry and apple juices with cinnamon and clove flavouring. It can be served either chilled or warmed and will be available for a limited time in Tesco stores nationwide.

The company is also launching a Cranberry Smoked Chilli sauce – a hot version of its traditional cranberry sauce – which will join Ocean Spray’s permanent line-up from 3 November.

Zoe Trimble, senior marketing manager at Ocean Spray, said: “We’re thrilled to be releasing these exciting new cranberry variants ahead of the festive period".

"We know consumers love trying new products, especially around this time of year, so we hope whether they’re making new Christmas cocktails with our ‘Cranberry Winter Spice’ drink or testing out a new recipe with our ‘Cranberry Smoked Chilli’ sauce, they bring fans the new and exciting flavour hit they’ve been looking for."

The Cranberry Winter Spice drink (RRP £1.99) will be available while stocks last, and the Cranberry Smoked Chilli sauce (RRP £1.80) will be sold exclusively in Tesco stores.
