Notes

This recipe makes one drink. You can easily scale the quantities up by changing the number of of servings on the recipe card.
I recommend using refrigerated 100% pomegranate juice for the best flavor.
If you don't have a cocktail shaker, you can simply stir the ingredients together with a spoon or use a mason jar as your shaker.
