Thanks, Robert!

Eureka! I’ve been trying to find real pomegranate juice that: wasn’t from concentrate, didn’t have any other juices added and didn’t have any added sugar or high fructose corn syrup. Go ahead, next time your at the store, take a minute and actually read the labels of what’s in all those juices. It’s scary. LUSH is just pomegranate juice, water and potassium sorbate. It’s $5 for a liter, market special of 6 bottles for $25.

I was inspired that night and put together this little cocktail:

  • 2 oz. Pomegranate juice
  • 2 oz. (Belvedere) vodka
  • 1 oz. Cointreau
  • 1/2 oz. fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/2 oz. simple syrup

(Simple syrup is just a mixture of sugar and water. I keep some handy in a glass jar in the fridge.) Feel free to play with the amounts, I did; the measurements above are close though. Mix ingredients together in a shaker with ice, pour into a chilled martini glass and garnish with a lemon twist. Repeat as necessary. Enjoy.
