POM Wonderful <\/p><\/div>\n

I had been seeing POM Wonderful pop up on foodie blogs for a while.\u00a0 Apparently the POM Fairy was super busy dispensing POM all over the place.\u00a0 POM had been winking at me and catching my eye while I grocery shopped. \u00a0 But it didn’t flirt with me enough or offer to buy me a drink so I ignored it.\u00a0 Finally I decided to be a modern woman and make the first move.\u00a0 And also I was tired of waiting around for the POM Fairy to call me and tell me it had a surprise just for me.<\/p>\n

My next grocery trip, I grabbed the POM by the handle and took it home to have my way with it and do my own review for the blog, gosh darn it!\u00a0 A little side note, POM does not mind being roughly handled.\u00a0 Take that as you will.<\/p>\n

I had heard rumors that your first time with POM might not be like what you’ve read about in books or have seen in movies.\u00a0 It’s sort of tart and a little bit more assertive than what you’d expect from something labeled as Wonderful. It can catch you off guard if you’re not prepared.<\/p>\n

Because of this, I decided to play it safe and made sure I warmed myself up beforehand so that I would be ready to handle whatever Wonderful came my way.\u00a0 I poured a bit in a glass, held my breath, and jumped in with both lips.<\/p>\n

All that warming up was for nothing.\u00a0 POM Wonderful is exactly that.\u00a0 Wonderful.\u00a0 It’s not tart at all or assertive, at least not to my experienced palate. It’s sweet and a bit thicker than most fruit juices.\u00a0 I love it!\u00a0 In fact I might like it even more than my current top choice, unsweetened cranberry juice.\u00a0 Which is<\/em> assertive and can leave your throat a bit dry if you don’t know what you’re doing with it.\u00a0 POM is sweet glorious nectar.<\/p>\n

\"POMtini

POMtini <\/p><\/div>\n

We drink a lot of “fizzies” in this house.\u00a0 Fizzies are basically seltzer and whatever else you want to toss in there.\u00a0 I typically keep it to juices but my husband likes things with a little more kick sometimes.\u00a0 Because I’m an awesome wife, I have no problems keeping things spicy for him.<\/p>\n

This resulted in the POMtini<\/em>.\u00a0 I’m sure this has been done numerous times and in numerous places but this is my version.<\/p>\n

Andrea’s Quickie POMtini<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Chilled vodka (how much depends on you)<\/li>\n
  • Chilled POM Wonderful (3x’s that of the vodka)<\/li>\n
  • Splash of lime juice<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Stir and serve. You can get even fancier by rimming the glass with sugar and adding a slice of lime for garnish. Make it green sugar and the drink will pop even more.\u00a0 Plus it’s festive for the holidays!<\/p>\n

    We have even tried the POM Wonderful with Blueberry and it’s fantastic too.\u00a0 You can smell the blueberries as soon as you pour it into your glass.\u00a0 Admittedly POM can be a bit on the pricy side.\u00a0 However, it’s totally worth it because sometimes you just have to branch out and experiment a little bit.<\/p>\n

    Next time you’re at the store, give POM Wonderful a try! Your experience will probably be a lot more enjoyable than you think! ;)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
