You can get it at most grocery stores. It's a bit pricey (from $4.50-$9 for 32 oz), but it's really sour, so you probably won't be able to drink much at a time. I was having some physical problems that I thought cranberry might be good for, so I decided to start incorporating some of the real stuff into my diet. (Side note: I'm generally not a fan of treating food like medicine, and I recognize that the small amount of cranberry juice I drink each day probably does nothing tangible for my health, but I wanted to feel like I was being proactive in some way, plus I like it.)
I find cranberry juice too intense to drink by itself, but a combination of cranberry juice and sparkling water is tasty and refreshing. I'm not a fan of drinking really sweet stuff with meals, so I like that this has some flavor but isn't sweet. Jon and I call my cranberry and seltzer combo "Refreshing Health Beverage." One night we were about to watch a movie, and Jon wanted a festive beverage to accompany it. He added rum to Refreshing Health Beverage, and I dubbed it Red Rover. You don't often see non-sweet rum drinks. I think the tartness brings out the flavor of the rum in a totally different way than most things.
Refreshing Health Beverage
1/3 cup 100% cranberry juice
8 oz sparkling water
Pour cranberry juice into a glass. Add water.
Red Rover
1/3 cup 100% cranberry juice
1/3 cup rum
6 oz sparkling water
1 lime wedge, optional
Pour cranberry juice and rum into a glass. Add water. Garnish with a lime wedge if you feel festive.

I love your idea! I mix it with concord grape juice and dilute with water, but maybe I should look into sparkling water instead (and no grape juice).
Good Drink, i am also fond of Cranberry juice, but it does not taste good if we consume it directly, this post gives new idea to make drinks with cranberry juice as base.
