Print Recipe

A light, celebratory mocktail with pomegranate, lime, and rosemary. It’s quick to make, perfect for any occasion, and a crowd-pleaser that feels fancy without the alcohol.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 oz (120 ml) 100% Pomegranate Juice (e.g., POM Wonderful)
  • 4 oz (120 ml) Chilled Sparkling Water or Club Soda (e.g., San Pellegrino or Topo Chico)
  • 1/2 oz (15 ml) Freshly Squeezed Lime Juice (about half a lime)
  • 1/2 oz (15 ml) Simple Syrup or Maple Syrup (optional, for a sweeter drink)
  • 1–2 Fresh Rosemary Sprigs
  • Ice Cubes
  • Optional: Pomegranate Arils (seeds) for garnish
  • Optional: A thin slice of lime or lemon for the rim

Instructions

  1. Infuse the Ice: Gently slap one rosemary sprig between your palms to release its oils. Place it in the bottom of a tall glass. Fill the glass completely with ice.
  2. Prepare the Base: In a cocktail shaker (or mason jar), combine 4 oz pomegranate juice and 1/2 oz fresh lime juice. Add simple syrup if desired. Fill the shaker with ice.
  3. Shake: Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until the shaker feels frosty.
  4. Strain and Pour: Strain the chilled pomegranate-lime mixture into the prepared glass over the rosemary-infused ice.
  5. Add Bubbles: Top off the glass with 4 oz chilled sparkling water, pouring gently down the side to preserve carbonation.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Gently stir once or twice. Slap the second rosemary sprig to release its oils and place it in the glass as a garnish. Add pomegranate arils and a lime slice if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a stronger rosemary flavor, muddle the rosemary with simple syrup in the glass before adding ice. For a party, multiply the base ingredients and refrigerate; assemble per serving with ice, rosemary, and sparkling water. Use fresh lime juice for best results.
