Nothing makes me happier than a holiday cocktail, especially one that is insanely easy to make. We all know I love a pomegranate moment, so I figured, why not make a cocktail of out it? So go on, get your holiday party started with my Pomegranate Gin Fizz.
POMEGRANATE SIMPLE SYRUP
- 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
- 2 large orange zest peels
- 2 cardamom cloves
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
DIRECTIONS
- In a pan, add the pomegranate seeds, orange zest, cardamom, sugar and water. Bring to a simmer and let simmer until sugar is dissolved. Using a wooden spoon, press down on the pomegranate seeds to release all that juice and flavor.
- Once the sugar is dissolved, remove from the heat and let cool.
- Strain and store in a squeeze bottle.
