Density 39 · +10 vs Beverages medianThis orange and apricot juice drink also scores 39 of 100, Low band, and ranks 20th of 60 in Beverages, above the category median of 29. Vitamin C is the number worth noting, 22% DV per 100 g, a step down from its grape juice drink cousin's 29%.
Like most canned juice drinks, it's meant for quick refreshment rather than a produce swap. A fl oz portion (31 g) contains 12.7 g carbohydrate and 12.1 g sugar per 100 g, with sodium negligible at 2 mg, so it reads as a low-sodium but sugar-forward choice best treated as an occasional drink rather than a juice staple.

In the kitchen and how to use it
Orange and apricot juice drink blends citrus juice with apricot puree or juice and added sugar and water, giving it a softer, more rounded sweetness than straight orange juice along with a slightly thicker, more textured mouthfeel from the apricot. It is typically served chilled straight from the can over ice, but it also works well stirred into a fruit punch, used as the base for a light vinaigrette with olive oil and a pinch of mustard, or poured over vanilla yogurt for a quick breakfast parfait. Its mild, not-too-tart flavor makes it a gentler alternative to pure orange juice for people who find citrus juice too sharp.
Once a can is opened, pour any extra into a sealed container and refrigerate, using it within a few days for the best flavor. At 51 calories per 100 grams and just 2 mg of sodium, it is both low in calories and low in sodium, making it an easy way to add fruit flavor without much caloric cost. It supplies 22% DV of vitamin C per 100 grams, a solid contribution for a fruit drink, while its 12.1 grams of sugar per 100 grams comes largely from the fruit and added sweetener rather than being calorie dense overall.
