Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes
Servings 2 servings

Ingredients
  

  • Pomegranate juice: 100% juice, not a blend, for full flavor.
  • Fresh lime juice: Adds brightness and keeps the drink from tasting too sweet.
  • Ginger syrup: Store-bought or homemade (simple syrup simmered with fresh ginger).
  • Sparkling water or club soda: For fizz; choose unflavored to let the other ingredients shine.
  • Ice: Large cubes preferred so the drink stays cold without diluting too fast.
  • Optional garnishes: Pomegranate arils, lime wheels, and a slice of fresh ginger or a sprig of mint.

Instructions
 

  • Chill everything: Cold juice and sparkling water make a better mocktail. Pop them in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  • Prep your glass: Fill a tall glass with ice. If you like, rub a lime wedge around the rim and dip it in sugar for a light sparkle.
  • Mix the base: In a separate small pitcher or shaker (no need to shake hard), combine 1/2 cup pomegranate juice, 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, and 1 to 1.5 tablespoons ginger syrup.
  • Taste and adjust: If you prefer more zing, add a splash more lime. For more sweetness, add another small drizzle of ginger syrup.
  • Add the bubbles: Pour the mixture over the ice, then top with 1/2 to 3/4 cup sparkling water. Stir gently to keep the fizz.
  • Garnish and serve: Add a lime wheel, a few pomegranate arils, and a slice of fresh ginger or mint. Serve immediately.
