Surprisingly delightful! The mint and pomegranate balance the zingy citrus notes beautifully, making it feel refreshing without being overly sweet. I was unsure about the flavor blend at first, but it works harmoniously. As someone usually not into this kind of drink, I found it intriguingly tasty.
