Pomegranate Sparkling Cider Mocktail Recipe
I love a good mocktail, and this pomegranate sparkling cider is a favorite of mine. It's both refreshing and easy to make! Here’s how I put it together, with details on what you need and how to prepare it.
Equipment
- Juicer: This is perfect for getting fresh juice from pomegranates.
- Shaker: Helps mix the ingredients smoothly.
- Measuring cups: Essential for getting the right balance of flavors.
- Strainer: To keep seeds out of the drink.
- Tall glasses: Makes for a nice presentation when serving.
Ingredients
Here's what I usually reach for when making this bubbly beverage:
- 1 cup of fresh pomegranate juice
- 2 cups of sparkling cider
- ½ cup of club soda
- Lemon slices for garnish
- Pomegranate seeds for garnish
- Ice cubes for serving
I find that fresh ingredients add the best flavor and look amazing, especially those bright pomegranate seeds!
Instructions
Making this mocktail is quite straightforward:
- Juice the pomegranates to get fresh juice. Use a juicer if you can.
- Fill the shaker with ice. Add pomegranate juice and a cup of sparkling cider.
- Shake well for about 20 seconds. This helps mix everything evenly.
- Strain the mix into tall glasses filled with a few ice cubes.
- Top each glass with club soda.
Finally, garnish with pomegranate seeds and lemon slices. 🍹
Notes
I often mix things up a little based on what I have:
You can replace club soda with more cider for a sweeter flavor.
Add mint leaves if you want a fresh twist.
If you like less sweetness, try using less cider.
Feel free to experiment, and find what works best for you. Let me know how it goes in the comments! 😊
