Equipment

A blender is essential for mixing everything together smoothly.

Make sure to have a measuring cup for accuracy.
A fine mesh strainer comes in handy to ensure no unwanted seeds sneak through.
Grab a large pitcher to serve this drink in style.

I like using a wooden stirring spoon to blend the flavors.
Get a set of glasses ready, preferably clear, to showcase the vibrant color of the mocktail.
Using a grater will be necessary if you decide to add fresh nutmeg. 🍹

Ingredients

To make this mocktail, you will need a few simple ingredients.

Start with 2 cups of pomegranate juice. This gives the drink its bold color and flavor.
You’ll also need 1 cup of cranberry juice which adds a tangy note.
For the spices gather 1 cinnamon stick, along with a pinch of ground cloves. You might want to try adding 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract for extra warmth.

Don’t forget to have fresh pomegranate seeds for garnish.
Have a few slices of lime ready to add a citrus twist.

Finally, get club soda to top it off for fizz.

Instructions

Start by combining the pomegranate and cranberry juices in a blender with the cinnamon stick and ground cloves. Blend on medium for about 30 seconds to mix everything.

Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a pitcher. This step removes any larger particles and ensures a smooth drink.
Stir in the vanilla extract gently with a wooden spoon.
Add ice to the glasses, then pour the mocktail over the ice, filling each glass halfway.

Top off each glass with club soda for sparkle.
Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh pomegranate seeds and a lime slice on the rim.

Enjoy your spicy, fruity creation! 🍹

Notes

Feel free to adjust the spices! If you prefer it less spicy, use half the cinnamon stick. Remember, it’s all about finding your perfect taste balance.

You can prepare this drink ahead of time. Just mix the juices and spices first and store them in the fridge.

Tips & Tricks

Making a Spiced Pomegranate Cooler Mocktail is fun and easy! Here are some tips to get it just right. 🥤

Chill the Glass: Start by putting your glass in the freezer for a few minutes. A cold glass makes the drink even more refreshing!
Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh pomegranate seeds for the best taste. They add a nice crunch and look amazing! 😋

Spice it Up: Add a stick of cinnamon or a few cloves when mixing your drink. These spices add warmth and a cozy flavor.
Sweetness Level: Taste your mocktail before serving. If you like it sweeter, add a bit of honey or simple syrup.
Garnish: A slice of orange or a sprig of mint makes a big difference. It’s a small touch but adds a lovely finish.

Ice Cubes: Use large ice cubes to keep the drink cold longer. They melt slower and don’t water down the flavors.
Shake or Stir: For a well-mixed drink, shake the ingredients in a shaker. If you don’t have one, swirling in the glass works too!
