Ingredients:
1 Pomegranate, remove flesh to expose and release the red ruby arils
1 shot vodka
2 shots Roses Sweetened lime juice
1 lemon – fresh squeezed juice in hand held juicer
*Simple sugar
Rimmer
Ice
*Simple sugar- is simply adding two parts sugar to 1 part water. For instance, use ½ cup granulated sugar to ¼ cup water. Bring water to boil, add sugar and stir until completely dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely and thicken.
If you don’t want to take the extra few minutes to make the simple sugar, skip the stove, and use 1 part sugar to 1 part water, and shake vigorously (in cocktail mixer) until the sugar is dissolved. This syrup is thinner than rich simple sugar, but is easy to just throw in equal parts water and sugar in your shaker with the rest of the drink ingredients!
Lets Shake:
To release the pomegranate juice from the seeds, or arils, a handheld citrus juicer works well. Fill cocktail shaker with ice, vodka, lime juice, lemon juice, pomegranate juice, simple sugar, and lemon rind. Cap and shake-a-shake-a-shake a! Pour in decorated rimmed martini glass and enjoy this holiday citrus wonder!
