Pomegranate Mint Cocktail
This Pomegranate Mint Cocktail recipe is more on the tart side; however, it can be made sweeter by adjusting the ratios and substituting the lemon with orange.
Ingredients:
¼ cup vodka
2 tablespoons Minty Simple Syrup
2 tablespoons pomegranate juice
scoop of crushed ice
¼ cup prosecco
squeeze of lemon (or orange)
Minty Simple Syrup
(makes enough for more than 2 cocktails)
½ cup sugar
½ cup water
handful of mint
Directions:
- Make the Minty Simple Syrup – Combine water and sugar in a small saucepan. Simmer just until the sugar dissolves, whisking occasionally (just a minute or two).
- Remove from heat, stir in the mint. Chill until ready to serve, let the mint continue to steep in the syrup for at least 30 minutes. Strain out the mint before serving.
- Mix together the vodka, Minty Simple Syrup, pomegranate juice and ice.
- Pour into glasses. Top with prosecco and a squeeze of lemon.
