If this is what Minute Maid has done, wonder if the blend is now: grape, apple, cranberry.

I can't speak for Minute Maid specifically but I used to be a big drinker of this stuff and in general:
Cranberry Juice Cocktail: Cranberry juice cut with sugar water
Cranapple (or cran grape): Mostly apple (or grape) and then some cranberry.Sometimes 100% juice and sometimes juice cut with sugar water.

Pure 100% cranberry juice is very tart (and pricey).

Is not such beverage available from dispensers at the United Club?

For the Freestyle dispensers, No. Cranberry / CranApple is not an available choice.

At the bar, they usually have a jug of the Cranberry cocktail for use as a mixer. They will provide glass(es) of just the juice if requested.

Huh, mystery solved! Thanks much!

I will reiterate that there was a bit of a taste difference, but there was a four month period of no travel for me during COVID, so it could just be bad memory.
