What to check before buying
Settle the serving style first, then compare the ingredient list, pack size and portion volume.

What to check |
Your needs |
| Juice content |
Read the ingredient list and fruit-juice percentage. Tesco Groceries lists Appletiser as 100% carbonated apple juice; Sainsbury’s lists Cawston Press Cloudy Apple as containing 49% pressed apple juice. |
If I want 100% apple juice, the two canned drinks are not equivalent. |
| Serving size |
Both canned packs contain 250ml per can. The NHS advises a maximum of 150ml a day for fruit juice and smoothies combined, so a full 250ml juice can exceeds that amount. |
For guests who want smaller servings, I would rather pour into glasses than assume one can is one 150ml portion. |
| Pack capacity |
Compare Appletiser’s six 250ml cans, Cawston Press’s four 250ml cans and ASDA’s 4 x 1L cartons. Count guests as well as total volume. |
Individual cans make serving straightforward; for a bigger table, I may prefer to pour from a shared pack. |
| Drink style |
Appletiser and Cawston Press Cloudy Apple are sparkling canned drinks. Tropicana Orchard Apple and Copella Cloudy Apple are bottled pressed juices to consider when still juice is wanted. |
If some guests do not want a sparkling drink, I need a still option on the table. |
Relevant brand references
These product lines illustrate the difference between canned sparkling drinks and still juice served from larger containers.
Appletiser
A six-can sparkling option when 100% apple juice and individual servings both matter.
- Tesco Groceries lists carbonated apple juice from concentrate (100%) for the 6 x 250ml pack.
- It is sparkling rather than still, and each can contains 250ml.
Cawston Press
Its Cloudy Apple four-can pack is a sparkling apple-based drink rather than 100% apple juice.
- The Sainsbury’s listing identifies a 4 x 250ml canned pack.
- The same listing states that it contains 49% pressed apple juice.
Tropicana
Orchard Apple is a still-juice reference for hosts serving from bottles.
- Tropicana UK describes it as 100% pressed, not-from-concentrate apple juice.
- A bottle does not meet a requirement for individual cans.
Copella
Cloudy Apple is a bottled option for pouring still apple juice.
- Copella lists 250ml, 300ml, 900ml and 1.35L bottle sizes.
- Those listed formats do not provide a canned multipack.
ASDA
Its 4 x 1L apple-juice-from-concentrate pack suits shared pouring rather than individual-can service.
- Four 1L cartons provide 4L in total.
- ASDA instructs customers to refrigerate opened cartons and consume their contents within five days.

Common questions
Is a canned sparkling apple drink always 100% apple juice?
No. Tesco Groceries lists Appletiser 6 x 250ml as 100% carbonated apple juice, while Sainsbury’s lists Cawston Press Cloudy Apple 4 x 250ml as containing 49% pressed apple juice. Check the ingredient list when the distinction matters to your choice.
Does one 250ml juice can match the NHS’s 150ml guidance?
No. The NHS advises a daily maximum of 150ml for fruit juice and smoothies combined. One 250ml can is larger than that amount, even when its contents are 100% apple juice.
Should I buy cans or larger cartons for a brunch group?
Choose cans if individual sparkling servings are important: the Appletiser pack contains six 250ml cans, while the Cawston Press Cloudy Apple pack contains four. ASDA’s 4 x 1L apple-juice cartons suit a plan to pour still juice for guests instead.
What should I read on the pack before buying?
Check the product description, ingredients, stated juice percentage, serving size and storage instructions. These details distinguish 100% apple juice from an apple-based drink and help you plan how to serve it.
How should I store opened apple-juice cartons?
Follow the instructions on the carton you buy. For its 4 x 1L apple-juice pack, ASDA says to refrigerate after opening and consume within five days.
