Ingredients

For one serving, gather:

2 oz pomegranate juice
1 oz gin
1/2 oz fresh lime juice
1/2 oz simple syrup
1 inch piece of fresh ginger peeled
Club soda
Ice
Pomegranate seeds and lime wheel for garnish

Use fresh ingredients when possible for the best taste. Pick ripe pomegranates for juicing or buy high-quality store-bought juice.

Instructions

Peel and chop the ginger. Put it in the shaker and muddle it.
Add pomegranate juice, gin, lime juice, and simple syrup to the shaker.

Fill the shaker with ice and shake hard for 10-15 seconds.
Fill a highball glass with ice.
Strain the mixture into the glass.

Top with club soda and stir gently.
Garnish with pomegranate seeds and a lime wheel.

Serve right away while the drink is cold and bubbly.

Notes

You can adjust the sweetness by changing the amount of simple syrup. For a stronger ginger flavor, use more ginger or let it steep in the drink longer.

Make it non-alcoholic by skipping the gin and adding more pomegranate juice or club soda.

Try using different types of gin to change the flavor profile. A London Dry gin works well, but a floral gin can add interesting notes.

Prepare the ginger and juice ahead of time for faster mixing when guests arrive.
