Where can you buy white cranberry juice in the UK? I’ve tried looking and have not had any luck so far.

While it's commonplace in the USA, I've not seen white cranberry juice in the UK.

I had already started making this when I realised the recipe was asking for white cranberry juice. I went ahead and made it with regular cranberry juice.
I wonder what difference white cranberry juice would make to the flavour, but using regular cranberry juice creates a beautiful dark blue coloured drink.

Thanks, Lynn. I've now made it more apparent that the recipe calls for white cranberry juice. However, it's good to know the regular red stuff also works.
