\"Pomegranate<\/p>\n

What is 7UP Pomegranate?<\/h3>\n

First introduced in 2007, and not seen on shelves since 2016, this limited edition product makes its return just in time for the winter season. Bright red, this soda combines pomegranate flavor with the standard 7UP lemon-lime.??<\/p>\n

How is it?<\/h3>\n

Holiday themed sodas are easily one of my favorite things about the dark, cold months ahead. Drinks that are normally cloyingly sweet affairs now have an edge to them that makes them extremely enjoyable.<\/p>\n

\"Pomegranate<\/p>\n

7UP Pomegranate, however, falls short of impressing me. Instead of the pomegranate hitting first, it\u2019s overwhelmingly the standard lemon lime taste. The red fruit comes towards the end, but not the way I was hoping for. It’s very subtle and seems to dull the sweetness associated with lemon lime soda more than add a new flavor profile. It’s definitely not like the pomegranate-flavored Red Bull I tried a few weeks ago<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Pomegranate is just a hard flavor to execute, but I do applaud 7UP for at least swerving left when most companies swerve right (cranberry) when it comes to adding holiday tastes to their products.<\/p>\n

Anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n

This site did a review of it when it first came out in 2007. I avoided reading it until I had finished my own review. Apparently the pomegranate wasn\u2019t strong then either. You\u2019d think they\u2019d have tweaked it a bit in the last 14 years.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

\"Pomegranate<\/p>\n

While a perfectly drinkable item, it fails to deliver the pomegranate flavor in any meaningful way. It tastes more like a slightly less sweet, bright red 7UP than a whole new variety.<\/p>\n
