A Pomegranate Mocktail

by zesty on October 16, 2009 · 11 comments

Happy Friday to you!  Sorry for the premature announcement yesterday as my Quaker/Goodbite debut doesn’t take place until next Friday October 23rd.

I have been drinking POM Juice and Tea for quite a while and I have been reading a lot lately about it.  When I received some giveaway coupons from POM Wonderful I read through some of the literature and I was very impressed.

I was browsing the POM website and decided to try one of the recipes.

It is called a Pomegranate Mocktail.  Fairly simple so I thought I would give it a whirl.  Turned out great.  Have a look.

Ingredients

  • 3/8 cup freshly squeezed pomegranate juice* or POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice
  • 3/8 cup fresh lemonade
  • 1-1/2 oz. sparkling water

Method

  1. Fill a tall tumbler glass a little more than halfway with ice cubes.
  2. Pour 3/8 cup fresh lemonade into the glass, up to the halfway mark.
  3. Slowly add pomegranate juice. (The goal is to create a mix of half lemonade and half pomegranate juice, so adjust accordingly for the size of your glass.)
  4. Add sparkling water.
  5. Stir and serve.
  6. mocktail

  7. ENJOY!

Zesty Tip: Try and keep the juices you consume as all natural as possible.   I find that way you are not wasting as many calories with unwanted sweeteners in your drinks.

Have a great Friday and a great weekend.  I am working at the house today getting it ready for drywall.  Mrs. Zesty is running a Half Marathon on Sunday so I will be going out in full support with the kiddies.

Take care

I have tried to ‘peel’ a pom before and wanted to rip my hair out. It drove me crazy.

I have been scared to experiment with poms on my own but I need to face my fears :) They are so good!

POM plus seltzer and a lime wedge is one of my favorite post run drinks!
