Sparkling Pomegranate Delight Mocktail Recipe

There’s something about a drink that’s easy but still feels special. My Sparkling Pomegranate Delight Mocktail is crisp, colorful, and packed with fruity notes.

It’s the kind of thing you’ll want to sip slowly, just to enjoy every flavor.

Equipment

You don’t need anything wild to make this mocktail. Just a few basics, and you’re set.

• Cocktail shaker or a big mason jar with a lid
• Measuring spoons or a small measuring cup
• Citrus juicer for squeezing lime and orange
• Tall glass to serve
• Long spoon for stirring
• Fine mesh strainer (if you want to skip the pulp)
• Knife and cutting board for lime and mint
• Small bowl for pomegranate arils

Having everything ready makes the process smoother, and honestly, a little more fun.

Ingredients

I stick with fresh, easy-to-find ingredients—nothing complicated here. Here’s what you’ll need for one glass.

• 3 oz pomegranate juice
• 2 oz sparkling water or seltzer
• 1 oz orange juice (fresh is best)
• 1 oz fresh lime juice
• 1 teaspoon pomegranate arils
• A few fresh mint leaves
• Ice cubes
• Extra mint sprig and lime wheel for garnish (if you’re feeling fancy)

These flavors together? So good, and the color is gorgeous.

Instructions

This mocktail comes together in a snap. Here’s what I do:

• Toss a handful of ice cubes into your shaker or mason jar.
• Add the pomegranate juice, orange juice, and lime juice.
• Shake it up for about 10 seconds—just enough to chill everything.
• Strain into a tall glass filled with fresh ice.
• Pour sparkling water or seltzer over the juice mix.
• Stir gently; you don’t want to lose the bubbles.
• Drop in the pomegranate arils and a few mint leaves.
• Garnish with a mint sprig and lime wheel if you like.

Serve it right away for the best fizz and flavor.

Notes

If I’m out of sparkling water, club soda totally works. Want it sweeter? Add a teaspoon of honey or simple syrup before shaking.

Fresh juice really does make a difference—just saying. Sometimes I freeze the pomegranate arils first; they keep the drink cold and don’t water it down.

And if you’re craving more fizz, just top it up with a splash of sparkling water at the end.

Tasting Notes

When I take that first sip of the Sparkling Pomegranate Delight Mocktail, there’s this gentle fizz that kind of dances around on my tongue. The sparkling water brings in a refreshing, bubbly texture—makes the whole thing feel light, almost playful.

The pomegranate flavor jumps out right away. It’s bold and sweet, but there’s definitely a hint of tartness that keeps it interesting.

Honestly, the natural tang works so well with those cool bubbles. It’s not overly sweet, which is a relief—I could see myself sipping this for a while.

This mocktail just feels cool and vibrant, especially if you add ice and a handful of fresh mint. The mint leaves behind this soft, clean aftertaste, and I’ve got to say, I’m a fan.

If you take a look at the color, it’s a deep red with a bit of a sparkling glow. Toss in some fruit garnish—lime slices or maybe pomegranate seeds—and it honestly looks extra special.

This is definitely a pomegranate mocktail I’d reach for whenever I want something festive but without the alcohol.
