So ... yeah. This is not very good.

On the one hand, the color is very appealing. It looks kind of like radioactive Scope.

But then there's the taste. After Kristin took her first sip, she said, "It's like drinking a cantaloupe." At first, I agreed. It was as though the Midori was dominating the flavor. But after a few sips, I noticed there was something familiar about the flavor. It took me a while to pinpoint it, but eventually we came to an agreement.

This drink tastes like a big pink wad of bubblegum.

It's not unpleasant, but it's not particularly good. We both finished ours, but neither of us had any desire for a second one.

On the plus side, we did reach one agreement: the vast majority of storylines on this season of True Blood are really not interesting.
