3 Ingredient Pomegranate Mocktail (single serving)

Ingredients

Scroll down to the pomegranate mocktail recipe card for the amounts of each ingredient, but here's a quick visual + description of what's in this recipe.

• Pomegranate juice: For the strongest pomegranate flavor, I recommend using 100% pomegranate juice, but you can use whatever you have or prefer.
• Sparkling water: Plain or citrus flavored sparkling water are best
• Lime: freshly squeezed lime is my favorite addition to this pomegranate mocktail, but you could use lemon juice or bottled juice.

Instructions

Scroll down to the recipe card for more detailed instructions. Here's a quick overview + photos to see how to make this recipe in general.

1. Start by adding a few ice cubes to a tall glass. Pour 100% pomegranate juice, then sparkling water into the glass.

You can also make a larger batch of pomegranate mocktail in a pitcher. But make just before serving because of the sparkling water.

2. Finish up by squeezing lime juice into the drink and stir. Serve pomegranate mocktail immediately.

Substitutions/Tips

• 100% pomegranate juice will be more flavorful than pomegranate juice cocktail or mixed pomegranate juice. But you can use what you have or prefer.
• Turn it into a cocktail by adding gin or vodka OR replace the sparkling water with champagne. There are lots of options for this drink!
• If you have fresh pomegranate, you can add a few pomegranate seeds or pomegranate aerils (same thing!) to your drink. I recommend using premade juice instead of trying to make your own, that sounds too time consuming!
• Other great add-ins: Simple syrup or other sugar, ginger ale, orange juice, mint, rosemary and thyme sprigs would each be good additions to this pomegranate mocktail.
