Mocktail Ingredients
- 1 cup pomegranate juice
- ½ cup orange juice
- 2 cups sparkling water or lemon-lime soda
- Ice (as needed)
- Lime slices for garnish
- Optional: pomegranate seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Glasses: Fill glasses halfway with ice and optionally add a few pomegranate seeds to each glass for a colorful, festive appearance.
- Mix Juices: Combine the pomegranate juice and orange juice in a pitcher and stir well. Taste the mixture and add additional orange juice if you prefer a sweeter flavor.
- Add Sparkling Water: Pour the sparkling water or lemon-lime soda into the juice mixture right before serving to maintain the carbonation. Stir gently once to mix without losing the fizz.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish each glass with lime slices and serve immediately. For an extra special presentation, rim the glasses with sugar before pouring the drink.
Notes
- Use sparkling water for a less sweet, more refreshing drink or lemon-lime soda for added sweetness.
- Rimming glasses with sugar adds a decorative and sweet touch to the mocktail.
- Pomegranate seeds add a beautiful visual element and a slight texture contrast.
- Serve immediately after adding sparkling water to preserve the fizz.
