Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups pomegranate juice
- 0.5 cups freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 cups sparkling water
- 2 tablespoons honey or simple syrup
- 4 leaves fresh mint leaves
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 2 tablespoons pomegranate seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 2 slices orange slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing pitcher, combine the pomegranate juice, freshly squeezed orange juice, and honey (or simple syrup). Stir until the honey is fully dissolved.
Add the fresh mint leaves to the mixture, gently muddling them with the back of a spoon to release their flavor without tearing them completely.
Fill two serving glasses halfway with ice cubes.
Pour the mixture evenly into the two glasses, filling them about two-thirds of the way full.
Top each glass with sparkling water, adding a lovely fizzy finish.
If desired, garnish with a sprinkle of pomegranate seeds and an orange slice on the rim of each glass for an extra visual and flavor boost.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Pomegranate Buzz!
