REVIEW: Arbor Mist Frozen Cocktails

I received a few of the new Arbor Mist Frozen Cocktails to try from SheSpeaks.  I love sweet, frozen cocktails in summer so I was excited to try these new beverages.  Right now, they come in three flavors: Blackberry Merlot, Strawberry White Zinfendel and White Pear Pino Grigio.  I immediately was drawn to the pear/pino grigio flavor.  After freezing for 5 hours, this drink was ready for consumption – well sorta.  I had to let the packet thaw a bit until I was able to squeeze it and consume.  They really are quite easy to use though and I was impressed at how the drink had a consistent texture and flavor.  The ice did not separate from the wine and flavor.  Overall, it’s quite an enjoyable beverage.  The flavor is on the sweet site but it is not overly sugary.  You can still pick up on the pear and wine notes.  I can’t imagine myself purchasing these though because they contain high fructose corn syrup, which I am trying to eliminate from my diet.  If they would only sweeten these with stevia, I’d be sold!
