Ingredients
Scale
Juices and Liquids
- 4 oz Pomegranate Juice
- 3 oz Cranberry Juice
- 1 oz Fresh Lime Juice
- 1 oz Grenadine Syrup
- 3–4 oz Sparkling Water or Soda
Additional Ingredients
- Ice Cubes (as needed)
- Fresh Berries (optional, for garnish)
- Lime Wedge (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all juices, lime juice, grenadine, sparkling water, ice, and garnishes. For best results, chill all liquid ingredients beforehand to keep the drink extra refreshing.
- Mix Juices and Lime: In a cocktail shaker or large glass, combine the pomegranate juice, cranberry juice, and a generous squeeze of fresh lime juice. Stir gently to blend the fruity flavors evenly.
- Add Grenadine for Sweetness: Pour in the grenadine syrup, which adds sweetness and creates the signature deep blood-red color. Stir lightly, preserving the layers for visual effect.
- Add Ice and Sparkling Water: Fill a serving glass with ice cubes, pour the juice mixture over the ice, then top with sparkling water or soda. Stir gently to mix while maintaining fizz.
- Garnish and Serve: Add fresh berries and/or a lime wedge on the rim for a festive, spooky touch. Serve immediately to enjoy the full effervescence and vibrant flavor.
Notes
- Use fresh lime juice for noticeable brightness in flavor.
- Chilling all ingredients prevents the ice from melting too quickly and diluting the drink.
- Pour grenadine slowly at the end to create a beautiful layered effect.
- Serve immediately as the sparkling water’s fizz fades quickly.
- Experiment with different berries or herbs for unique garnish variations.
