- Lime wheel and pomegranate seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Add vodka, pomegranate juice, lime juice, and simple syrup to a cocktail shaker filled with ice.

Notes
Store-bought pomegranate juice works well, but fresh-squeezed juice adds extra brightness.
Make simple syrup by mixing equal parts sugar and hot water until dissolved. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
For a mocktail version, replace vodka with additional pomegranate juice and club soda.
The drink can be made in large batches for parties - multiply ingredients by guest count and mix just before serving.
