Festive Pomegranate Mojito
INGREDIENTS
- 2 oz white rum
- 2 oz pomegranate juice
- ½ oz lime juice
- 2 tsp sugar (to taste)
- Sparkling water
- 4-5 mint leaves
- Garnish: mint leaves
- Garnish: pomegranate seeds
- Ice
INSTRUCTIONS
- Muddle the Ingredients: In a tall glass, gently muddle the mint leaves with sugar and lime juice. This process helps to release the mint's essential oils and combines them with the sugar and lime to create the cocktail's base flavor.
- Add Pomegranate and Rum: Pour the pomegranate juice and white rum into the glass. Stir to combine the ingredients thoroughly.
- Add Ice: Fill the glass with ice cubes, ideally crushed or cubed, to keep the drink chilled.
- Top Up with Sparkling Water: Carefully top up the glass with sparkling water. This adds a slight fizz to the cocktail, balancing the sweetness of the pomegranate and rum.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish the cocktail with extra mint leaves and a few pomegranate seeds. The seeds add a festive touch and a burst of flavor with each sip.
- Optional: For an extra festive presentation, you can also rim the glass with sugar or garnish with a lime wheel.
