as a friend observed, pomegranate can be consumed like wine, as it is fairly strong for some, yet has a delicate taste. this is a flavor to be savored!
since here at virgin lips, we're about being creative with what we drink, i thought i'd provide a recipe. this recipe is a twist from a virgin appletini recipe i served at my last party, and it was very popular. if any of you try this and like it, hit me up for some feedback. so, i give you the christened:
naked pomegraniti (nay khed / pom uh grah nee tee)
- 2 oz naked pomegranate juice
- 1/2 oz simple syrup (made with one part water, one part sugar)
- splash of lime juice
-granulated sugar for rimming (you might be able to find pomegranate flavored sugar in specialty stores, like "sur la table")
directions:
- pour ingredients into cocktail shaker with ice.
- shake well.
- strain liquid into cocktail glass with a sugared rim.
- garnish with flower for looks.
