Ocean Spray and Rainforest Cafe announced a new partnership to provide consumers across the country more fun drinks and dishes.

From now until December 31, all Rainforest Cafe locations will feature two "Cranberry Rain" themed signature drinks, the "Cranberry-Rita" and "Cranberry Sunset," that are both created with Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice Cocktail. In addition, Rainforest Cafe's sister restaurant, T-Rex, at Downtown Disney in Orlando, Fla., will add a signature salad to their menu featuring sweet and tangy Ocean Spray Craisins Sweetened Dried Cranberries.

Coupons to taste these flavorful new recipes will be available on Ocean Spray's Web site (oceanspray.com). Cranberry enthusiasts can enjoy a free appetizer with the purchase of an adult entree and five dollars off the purchase of $25.00 or more at participating Rainforest Cafe locations.

"We are proud to join with Rainforest Cafe to incorporate the versatile cranberry into a variety of recipes in their locations across the country," said Ken Romanzi, senior vice president and chief operating officer, Ocean Spray. "The unique flavor of cranberries can add a special twist to so many recipes, and we're pleased patrons of the Rainforest Cafe can taste that for themselves."

"Rainforest Cafe is excited about this dynamic partnership with Ocean Spray," said Keith Beitler, senior vice president and chief operating officer of specialty restaurants division and international franchising, Landry's Restaurants. "We anticipate a great response from our guests for the two specialty drinks featuring Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice Cocktail."
