Ingredients

  • 8 mint leaves
  • 1 ounce lime juice
  • ½ ounce Simple Syrup* See Notes
  • 1 or 2 lime wedges
  • 1 ounce pomegranate juice
  • 1½ ounces white rum
  • crushed ice as needed
  • club soda as needed
  • Mint sprig for garnishing
  • lime wedge for garnishing
  • pomegranate arils for garnishing

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add the mint leaves, lime juice, simple syrup, and lime wedges to a highball cocktail glass and muddle to release the flavor of the mint and limes. Tip - If you don’t have a muddler, the handle of a wooden spoon usually works pretty well or you can slap and roll the mint between your palms to release the flavor.
  2. Pour in the pomegranate juice.
  3. Fill the glass all the way to the top with crushed ice and add the rum. Stir with a bar spoon.
  4. Top off with club soda and garnish with a mint sprig, lime wedge, and pomegranate arils. Add a straw next to the mint garnish and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • *Simple syrup is simply a mixture of 1 part sugar to 1 part water, heated or boiled together until the sugar dissolves, less than 2 minutes usually.  I suggest making the simple syrup with 1/2 cup granulated sugar combined with 1/2 cup water. You will have extra, but it keeps for ages in the fridge and you can use it for future cocktails.
  • Recipe is intended for those for which alcohol is legal and appropriate.
