Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 4 oz gin
  • 2 oz pomegranate juice
  • 1 oz lemon juice
  • 1 oz simple syrup

Garnish

  • Pomegranate seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the shaker: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice to chill the ingredients properly.
  2. Combine ingredients: Add 4 oz gin, 2 oz pomegranate juice, 1 oz lemon juice, and 1 oz simple syrup into the shaker.
  3. Shake well: Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to mix and chill the cocktail thoroughly.
  4. Strain and serve: Strain the mixture into glasses filled with ice to keep the drink cool without diluting it too quickly.
  5. Garnish: Sprinkle pomegranate seeds on top of each glass to add a fresh, decorative touch before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor; bottled lemon juice can affect the taste.
  • Simple syrup can be homemade by dissolving equal parts sugar and water or store-bought for convenience.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of simple syrup according to your preference.
  • For a stronger pomegranate flavor, consider using pomegranate molasses in small amounts, but reduce the simple syrup to balance sweetness.
  • Serve immediately after preparing to enjoy the freshest taste and optimal chill.
