Pomegranate Moscow Mule
Ingredients
- 6 oz unsweetened pomegranate juice
- 4 oz vodka
- 1 ½ oz orange juice
- 1 ½ oz lime juice
- 6 oz ginger beer
Instructions
- Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add pomegranate juice, orange juice, vodka, and lime juice. Shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds.
- Pour the mix into a copper mug (or cocktail glass) over ice. Top it off with ginger beer.
- Optional: Garnish with pomegranate seeds and mint or rosemary. Enjoy!
Notes
- Make ahead for a party: Mix the base cocktail (excluding ginger beer) in advance and store in a pitcher. When it’s time to serve, stir well, pour into glasses, and top off with ginger beer.
- Garnishes: Fresh pomegranate arils and herb sprigs (like rosemary, mint, thyme, or sage) add a delightful touch.
- Make it a mocktail: Yes! Replace vodka with extra pomegranate juice and ginger beer. Alternatively, try nonalcoholic spirits for a unique twist.
Look for pomegranate juice at natural grocery stores (like Whole Foods). Opt for 100% pomegranate juice without additives. If it’s too tart, sweeten it with simple syrup or add more orange juice according to your taste. Cheers!
