Equipment

Ingredients

Garnish options:

For a stronger pomegranate flavor, use 100% pure pomegranate juice rather than juice blends. The simple syrup can be made by mixing equal parts sugar and hot water until dissolved, then cooling completely.

Instructions

For a party, you can prepare the juice mixture ahead of time and add the sparkling water just before serving.

    Notes

    This recipe makes one serving but can easily be multiplied for a crowd. For a party pitcher, mix the juice components ahead of time and add ice and sparkling water just before serving.
    For a sweeter drink, increase the simple syrup to 1 oz. If you prefer a more tart flavor, reduce the syrup or add more lime juice.
    Experiment with flavor variations by adding a dash of orange blossom water, a few fresh berries, or swapping sparkling water for ginger ale.

    Tasting Notes

    The Pomegranate Sparkler Mocktail offers a bright and refreshing flavor profile. The first sip delivers a sweet-tart pomegranate taste that’s both crisp and clean.

    Its taste is multi-layered with the following flavor notes:

    • Primary: Tart pomegranate with subtle sweetness
    • Secondary: Bright citrus undertones
    • Finish: Light effervescence with a cool mint hint

    The drink has a beautiful ruby color that varies from deep red to pink depending on how much sparkling water is added. This vibrant hue makes it visually appealing for special occasions.

    The texture is pleasantly bubbly without being overwhelming. The carbonation enhances the pomegranate’s natural tanginess while making each sip feel light and festive.

    When properly chilled to about 40°F (4°C), the mocktail’s flavors become more pronounced. The coldness brings out the fruit’s natural sweetness while maintaining its refreshing quality.

    Children tend to enjoy a slightly sweeter version, which can be achieved by adding a touch more simple syrup or using lemonade in place of some sparkling water.

    Must Have Ingredients

    Substitute

    You can change the pomegranate juice in this mocktail with other fruit juices. Cranberry juice works well and gives a similar color and tart taste.

    For a different flavor, try cherry, raspberry, or blackberry juice. These options keep the pretty red color but offer new tastes.

    If you don’t have soda water, use ginger ale or lemon-lime soda. These will make the drink sweeter, so you might want to use less simple syrup.

    No fresh lime? Use lemon juice or a splash of orange juice instead.

    For a sugar-free version, replace simple syrup with stevia or monk fruit sweetener. You can also use diet soda instead of regular soda water.

    The garnish can be changed too. Try lemon slices, orange wedges, or fresh berries if you don’t have pomegranate seeds or mint.
