Pomegranate Martini

Add a healthy dose of antioxidants to your martini with a dash pomegranate juice!

Pomegranate Martini Recipe

2 Oz Pomegranate Juice
2 Oz Vodka
1/4 Oz Simple Syrup

Directions:

Combine pomegranate juice, vodka and simple syrup in a cocktail shaker. Shake with ice. Strain and serve. Garnish with a lemon twist. For something different try with Citron vodka.

For an even tangier pomegranate martini, substitute one ounce of rubyred grapefruit juice for one ounce of pomegranate juice.

Serves: 1

Comments:

  • You can make pomegranate juice by cutting a medium pomegranate in half and juicing with any regular juicer. Each pomegranate should yield about four ounces of juice.
  • Simple Syrup is made by combining equal parts sugar and water, boiling, and then simmering until syrupy.
  • For variation, use a citrus vodka such as Absolute Citron and add little bit of lime juice.
