For years we’ve been tossing pomegranate seeds into every salad bowl that comes our way. Don’t get me wrong — they’re beautiful little jewels. But this year I’m giving a little extra love to the juice itself. This cocktail is my nod to the pomegranate in all its ruby-red glory. It’s festive, refreshing, and the kind of drink that makes a holiday table feel just a bit more special. Because sometimes it’s nice to have a cocktail that truly pops alongside the meal.
Serves 8
Because sometimes a holiday calls for something fizzy, festive, and just strong enough to keep the adults at the table laughing a little longer.
Ingredients
4 cups Sprite (or any lemon-lime soda you love)
1 ½ cups pomegranate juice
1 ½ cups vodka
Plenty of ice
Directions
In a big pitcher, stir together the Sprite, pomegranate juice, and vodka.
Fill your glasses with ice and pour.
Garnish with a few pomegranate seeds if you’re feeling fancy.
It’s simple, refreshing, and the kind of drink that makes an ordinary night feel like a celebration.
*For all the sparkle and none of the vodka, simply mix the Sprite with the pomegranate juice, pour over the ice, and add some orange slices to dress it up.
