Notes
The copper mug keeps the drink extra cold and adds to the traditional experience.
Fresh pomegranate juice makes a big difference in taste compared to bottled versions.
Store copper mugs in the freezer for 30 minutes before serving to keep drinks colder longer.
Don't over-stir after adding ginger beer or it will lose its fizz.
Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less pomegranate juice to taste.
