fruit drink
Noun: A commercially prepared, sweetened beverage made primarily from diluted fruit juice, often containing additional flavors, preservatives, or vitamins. It is distinct from pure, undiluted fruit juice.
This term refers to a specific category of non-alcoholic drink. It is typically found in bottles, cartons, or cans in grocery stores. It is often marketed as a refreshment or a source of Vitamin C, but it usually contains added sugars and has a lower percentage of actual fruit juice compared to 100% juice products.
- As a mass noun: The term can be used uncountably to refer to the category or substance in general.
- The aisle was stocked with fruit drink and soda.
- Fruit juice: (Noun) The pure, liquid extract from fruit, without added sweeteners or significant dilution. This is a related but distinct product.
- Fruit punch: (Noun) A type of fruit drink that is often a blend of multiple fruit flavors and is commonly served at parties.
- Juice drink: (Noun) A near-synonym, often used interchangeably on product labels.
- Juice beverage
- Juice cocktail (when referring to a specific blended type)
- Flavored drink
- Pure fruit juice
- Neat juice
The key distinction lies in the dilution and addition of sweeteners. A "fruit drink" is a processed beverage where fruit juice is a component, not the sole ingredient. Regulatory definitions in some countries specify minimum juice content for a product to be labeled as a "juice" versus a "drink" or "beverage."
