Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker
  • Jigger or measuring cup
  • Muddler
  • Highball glass
  • Ice
  • Strainer
  • Bar spoon

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.
