Cinco de Mayo: Pomegranate Mojito
Another one for you…
Here is another delicious drink recipe courtesy of my dear husband. As I have mentioned before he is a great mixologist and our friends and family are very grateful recipients of his creative talent.
He made this drink for the barbecue we were having. I was making the lamb burgers paired with the carrot and potato salads.
The delicious drink is made with the usual white rum but in this one citrus white rum is used- it imparts a great lemony flavor. The other important flavor of course is the pomegranate liquor- the star ingredient. The tangy pomegranate flavor goes perfectly well in this delicious drink. It provides the right amount of sweetness.
Some ice and lots of fresh mint make this drink perfect. It is ideal for the summer months- especially for the upcoming long weekend.
Make this delicious drink and your guests may never leave the backyard…
- 1 oz pomegranate liquor
- 1 oz citrus white rum
- ½ oz limejuice
- ¾ oz simple syrup
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint
- 2 oz club soda
- Ice
In a drink mixer, add the fresh mint and simple syrup. Muddle the mint with the back of a spatula. Add the pomegranate liquor, rum and limejuice. Shake well and pour into a glass full of ice. Add the club soda on top and serve.
Pomegranate Margarita
This drink is courtesy of my dearest husband who is a great mixologist.
Whenever we have people over, I cook and he makes fabulous drinks- it is a great combination. He loves coming up with different, delicious concoctions.
Recently some friends went to Mexico city and got us a very nice tequila. My husband was super happy to get a great quality tequila and couldn’t wait to give it a test run.
The same friends invited us over for a cook out and my hubby decided to make a pomegranate margarita concoction and take it to their house to serve right before dinner.
The pomegranate margaritas were delicious- perfectly mixed with the right amount of alcohol, lime juice and sweetness.
This drink will be ideal to serve for Memorial Day.
For one drink:
- 2 ounces pomegranate liquor
- 1 ounce Reposado tequila
- ½ ounce Triple sec
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed limejuice
- 1 tablespoon simple syrup
- ½ cup crushed ice
- Sea or kosher salt for the glass rim on a flat plate
- Half a lime
Add the pomegranate liquor, tequila, triple sec, limejuice, simple syrup and ice in a shaker. Shake well. In the meantime, cover the glass rim with limejuice from the half lime. Dip the glass rim in the salt and pour the drink and serve.
If you want the drink frozen and blended- add all the ingredients into a blender including the ice. Blend till smooth and pour into a salted glass.
