In a small saucepan, combine the pomegranate juice, granulated sugar, and lemon zest.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar completely dissolves (about 5 minutes).
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the simple syrup to cool to room temperature.
Strain the pomegranate simple syrup to remove any zest or pulp, then transfer it to a clean jar or bottle. Refrigerate until ready to use.
To assemble the wine cooler, fill four glasses with ice cubes.
Add 2 tablespoons of pomegranate simple syrup to each glass.
Pour sparkling wine into each glass until about three-quarters full.
Top each glass with a splash of club soda for added fizz.
Garnish with fresh pomegranate seeds and an optional lemon slice.
Serve immediately and enjoy your elegant Pomegranate Simple Syrup Sparkle Wine Cooler.
