Ingredients

  • 1 cup pomegranate juice
  • 3 Tbsp Grenadine I make my own; recipe at https://creative-culinary.com/bacardi-cocktail-another-classic
  • 3 Tbsp Orange Simple Syrup Mix 1/2 cup sugar with 1/4 cup strained orange juice; heat just until sugar dissolves and then cool before using for recipe
  • Crushed Ice
  • Arils from 1 Pomegranate
  • Chilled Prosecco or any sparkling wine you prefer
  • Orange twists for garnish

Instructions

  • Chill glasses in freezer.
  • Combine Pomegranate juice, Grenadine and Orange simple syrup in a shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously for 10-12 seconds.
  • Fill cocktail glasses with crushed ice. Sprinkle a generous amount (approx 2 Tablespoons) of Pomegranate arils over ice and then fill glass 3/4 full with the juice mixture.
  • Finish by filling glasses with the sparkling wine and garnish top with an orange twist.

Notes

These glasses were HUGE so it's hard to judge the yield; this same amount could be enough for up to 4 smaller martini glasses.
