- Pour in 2 oz of Pomegranate juice and then squeeze ½ a lime and pour over vodka, top with ginger beer, give a gentle stir and if desired.
- Add a mint sprig and a few pomegranate arils**. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
- To make multiple servings, prepare the cocktail by combining vodka, pomegranate juice, and lime juice in a large pitcher before adding ginger beer right before serving.
- You can reduce alcohol or switch to light ginger beer or club soda to make a lighter drink.
- For a non-alcoholic version, omit vodka and increase pomegranate juice and ginger beer (or use ginger ale for children).
- Consider infusing vodka with complementary flavors or adding a splash of simple syrup or cranberry juice to adjust sweetness.
- Spice up the cocktail by adding sliced jalapeño to the mix for a subtle heat.
