Smirnoff Twisted V Pomegranate Fusion
Wednesday, October 31st, 2007
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!

The pictured beverage is an energy/alcohol drink hybrid, Sparks Plus is an extension of the very popular Sparks, and the much less popular Sparks Light beverage line, produced by the Miller Brewing Company.Though the ingredients are mostly the same as Anheuser Busch’s ‘Tilt’, minus one percent alcohol, Sparks is quite clearly the superior tasting beverage. It leans heavily on the flavor profile of energy drinks, and much less on the taste of beer. If you know me, have read my articles on other sites and understand my loathing of beer, you’ll understand why that is important to me.
