Cranberry has got to be one of my favorite flavors, but that does not mean I will be going easy on Cintron here, oh no. The opposite is almost true: I know what makes a good cranberry beverage, and thusly what makes a bad one. Cintron's can here is fine, I guess, but what do the visuals have to do with the name? What about the fruit? Could I look it up, yeah suppose I could, and I did for a second or two, but found nothing.
There is no juice to be found, but my palate was convinced otherwise: the can could easily read "Ocean Spray cranberry juice cocktail" and I would not bat an eye. Each mouthful begins with a bright explosion that tells you exactly what you have gotten yourself into, and mellows immediately into a calm and collected experience that rides out into the sunset of your tongue. There is a softness to the cranberry, its sourness sharp but never overwhelming with a sweetness just present enough to keep things from becoming a candy caricature. Nothing disturbs your imbibes, no unnecessary nuance poking its head in for the sake of senseless complexity: Cintron trusts that you will appreciate what it has to offer, and boy did I ever. That can-shaped sauce has got some competition on the Thanksgiving table this year.
Potency is nowhere near as, well, potent, as the flavor is, with just seventy five milligrams of caffeine to keep you buzzing. Other ingredients include B vitamins, taurine, and inositol. Overall, Cintron Cranberry's looks and kick do not deserve a taste like this.
