Smirnoff Twisted V Pomegranate Fusion
This one kind of reminded me of a cross between Smirnoff Watermelon, and Smirnoff Berry. Mostly Berry though. How does the flavor compare to a real pomegranate juice? Beats me. I haven’t tried a 100% juice product, so I’m kind of flying blind. It tastes excellent though; berries always equal delicious in my book. Blog. Whatever.
Alcohol percentage is a little north of 5.0%, just a smidgen stronger than most beers. You really can’t tell it’s even there though; it’s covered up incredibly well. This is a very common trait amongst all of the Smirnoff Ice varieties, they have perfected the art of masking the flavor of alcohol.
‘How do they do it?,’ you ask. Well, for starters, they dump in over 220 calories worth of sugar into each and every twelve ounce serving. That is a lot of sugar, folks. That number is good for each flavor as well. Smirnoff with Splenda, anynone?
Take it easy, these will quickly sneak up on you. Please, remember to be safe and responsible. Otherwise, I easily recommend. Cheers!

These are the equivalent of ice beers. Meaning they will get you tossed in short order because of the high alcohol content.
As far as the flavor, I am glad you mentioned the sugar. The pomegranate flavor is obscenely more sugary than real flavor. It has a fake, but pleasant flavor. Despite that, this is probably my favorite Smirnoff Ice flavor.

My favorite is the Triple Black, or Arctic Berry. Never did buy these Pomegranates again.
