I'm not the cheerleader type, if you haven't guessed. And at the moment, I'm not feeling the most clever with this blog title, but stick with me. I'm getting to the good stuff.

Recently Molly of Pom Wonderful is that name crazy or what?) offered to send me some samples of Pom. Sure, I'd seen the wacky bubble bottles in the store, but had never actually purchased one. My only experience had been with another brand and I wasn't very impressed, which made me all the more interested in this one. I've got to say, it's delicious. Like straight out of the bottle good.

But that's not all. I tried it in a couple of tester recipes and played with it in some of my own dishes. The best thing was this awesome sorbet from Lick It! So good...so refreshing... and really bright tasting.



This summer, I'm going to be drinking that spritzer up top. It's Pom and a bit of 7-Up for extra sparkle. I've been thinking it would be especially good with a shot of vodka or lemoncillo. Doesn't that sound fun?

Along with the samples, I also received some information on the health benefits of drinking Pom. I'm not going to go into all that here, but the info is also available on their website. I know that Pom has some not so good history with animal testing, but from everything I've read, they've changed their way. Rather than hold that against them, I admire them for listening to consumers and making changes.

All in all, Pom is wonderful and I plan to buy it in the future.
