Please forgive me for including something with pomegranates so soon but I have just scrumped another 4 kilos of the things and so thought I would juice some (as it is a super food of course) and include it in a cocktail (not included in the super food category I’m afraid). As the juice is such a delicate hue and flavour, vodka is the obvious choice for the alcoholic bit – this may well already be a cocktail but I have never come across it. Only serve one before dinner though as it is, like many cocktails, subtle in its affect on one and it does need a good slug of vodka not to taste a bit like lolly water! We’ve called it a Pometini! Here goes
For two cocktails
One great slug of vodka (I would say 4 pub measures)
Juice of two large pomegranates
Juice of a lime
Splash of soda water
2 thin slices of lime
Put ice in your cocktail shaker and add the vodka, pomegranate juice and lime juice
Shake
Strain into cocktail glasses three quarters full
Top up with soda water or mineral water
Add a slice of lime
Voila!
Yum yum
Cheers. Perfect for Summer in Sunny Sydney 🙂
