SPARKLING CRANBERRY POMEGRANATE HOLIDAY COLLINS

SPARKLING CRANBERRY POMEGRANATE HOLIDAY COLLINS 🍸✨

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup cranberry juice (fresh or store-bought)
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate juice
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons simple syrup (or to taste)
  • 1 1/2 cups club soda or sparkling water
  • Ice cubes
  • Fresh cranberries and pomegranate seeds for garnish
  • Lemon slices for garnish
  • Mint leaves for garnish

Directions:

  1. Start by preparing your simple syrup if you don’t have any on hand. Combine equal parts sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved, and let it cool.
  2. In a large pitcher, mix together the cranberry juice, pomegranate juice, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. This combination creates a refreshing base filled with vibrant flavors.
  3. Add the simple syrup to the fruit juices. Start with 2 tablespoons and adjust according to your sweetness preference. Stir well to combine all the liquid together.
  4. Once mixed, you can chill this juice blend in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to an hour. Chilling will enhance the refreshing nature of your drink.
  5. When you’re ready to serve, fill tall Collins glasses with ice cubes. Pour the prepared juice mixture into each glass, filling them about two-thirds full.
  6. Top each drink with club soda or sparkling water until the glass is full, adding a delightful fizz to your mocktail.
  7. Garnish with fresh cranberries, pomegranate seeds, and a slice of lemon on the rim of the glass. Add a sprig of mint for an aromatic touch.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy your sparkling cranberry pomegranate holiday Collins with family and friends!
