How long does 100% Cranberry juice last?

Question

I don't mean Ocean Spray. That's 1/3 cranberry juice tops.
Pasteurized and pressure sealed, of course.

There's no date on it, and given the relatively high acidity (ie low ph) of cranberry juice I would expect it to keep for years.

I've had it for about 20 months now, been waitin' for someone to show up with a bottle of vodka for it. I'm more of a beer guy but always wanted to make a cape cod with 100% cran juice.

Should I toss it, drink it now, or keep it?
(source please -- otherwise I won't know if you read past the headline!)

Citrus is about as acidic, but way more sugary. I'd think it'd keep longer than orange juice for sure.

Answer 1

It should last longer than orange juice. I doubt that you have 100% pure cranberry juice, though. What color is it? The juice as it comes from the cranberry is not red, or sweet.

Answer 2

Your dog should be absolutely fine! Cranberry juice is not poisonous to dogs, and, while I wouldn't advise giving it to him/her on purpose, nothing will happen. Really, don't worry! If you want to take him/her to a vet, then go ahead, but you really don't need to as cranberry juice is not poisonous to dogs. I hope this helps! - Amber Faerie
