Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup pomegranate juice
- 10 fresh mint leaves
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- 2 tablespoons sugar syrup
- 1/2 cup soda water (sparkling water)
- 1 cup ice cubes
Instructions
- Muddle Mint and Lime: In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, gently muddle 10 fresh mint leaves with the lime wedges to release the mint oils and lime juice without shredding the mint completely.
- Add Pomegranate Juice and Ice: Pour 1 cup of pomegranate juice into the glass and add about 1 cup of ice cubes to chill the mixture.
- Top with Soda Water: Slowly top the drink with 1/2 cup of soda water to add a fizzy texture.
- Stir Lightly: Give the cocktail a light stir to combine the flavors while keeping the soda water’s fizz intact. Garnish with a sprig of mint or a lime wedge if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
- Adjust the sugar syrup to your taste preference if you prefer a sweeter or less sweet drink.
- Use fresh, cold soda water for best fizz.
- For an adult version, you can add a splash of white rum.
- Crushed ice can be used instead of cubes for a slushier texture.
- Ensure to muddle gently to avoid bitterness from crushed mint leaves.
