Review: Pomegranate (Lite)

Posted: Nov 02, 2006 at 12:00 AM (Last Updated: Nov 06, 2006 at 9:41 AM)
There's a lot going on in this package -- green tea, energy, pomegranate, carbonation, "lite" formulation (if 140 calories is truly “lite’) -- but AriZona successfully pulls it off. Using a base of green tea, AriZona's bread and butter product, they've added a tart shot of pomegranate flavor to the mix (using a 5 percent juice blend). The pomegranate flavor serves the dual purpose of giving the drinker a delicious fruit flavor and, with the help of the carbonation, it hides the artificial sweetener and energy flavors. AriZona has really nailed the formulation of this product, resulting in something that is extremely drinkable and addictive, whether you like diet drinks or not. The packaging is AriZona standard fare, which has Chinese styling and the easily recognizable AriZona logo. It might not be the prettiest can we've ever seen, but AriZona's logo gives it instant credibility, especially when using green tea as a base. Overall, this is a well-executed product that could potentially be one of the surprise hits of the energy drink category.
