[Recipe] POM Wonderful - Bountiful & Beneficial

by - November 16, 2016

According to a recent Leger survey, 93 per cent of Canadians want to live a healthier lifestyle – part of that dedication to healthier living starts with changing beverage choices from sugar-filled carbonated drinks to more natural options. Being so versatile, POM Juice is a great fit for holiday drinks and nutritious recipes.

Below are two winning drinks recipes from Toronto bartender Meghan McIntosh.


Winter Warmer Cocktail

This cocktail is designed to taste festive as we head into the holiday season. 

Ingredients

1.5 oz Tromba Anejo 
1 oz POM Wonderful 
1.5 oz Apple cider 
1 oz Cinnamon syrup
.75 oz lemon juice  

Method

1) Shake 
2) Served straight up or on the rocks with lemon wheel and pomegranate seeds as garnish  

Virgin POM-Ginger Sangria

A virgin sangria can sometimes be difficult to create as wine is such a key factor of the cocktail. POM Juice makes a great substitute for wine; both in colour and in flavour. Fresh ginger was also added - not typically found in sangria but adds a good kick to the mocktail!

Ingredients

2 small slices of fresh ginger Muddled in shaking tin 
2.5 oz POM wonderful 
1.5 oz orange juice 
.5 oz simple syrup 
.5 oz lemon 

Method

1) Shaken on ice in tin
2) Served on the rocks in wine glass 
3) Topped with ginger-ale float (approx 1.5 oz)
4) Garnished with Orange peel and pomegranate seeds as garnish.
