FAQ

Is a spritzer alcoholic?

A spritzer is made with sparkling water or a sparkling alcoholic beverage. I can be alcoholic or non-alcoholic.

Which pomegranate juice is best?

If you want to enjoy the health benefits of pomegranate juice, grab 100% pomegranate juice at the store. POM pomegranate juice and other brands sell 100% pomegranate juice. Pomegranate juices mixed with other juices may vary in nutrient profile. Try a few and choose the one that tastes best to you!

    Pomegranate is my favourite thing in the whole world, the way you’ve incorporated it with lime and fizz is too much to bare!! Can’t wait to give this a go!!

    Adding the sparkling water to pomegranate juice is a game changer! I think the juice is too tart on its own, but this makes it perfect.
