A tart, spicy, and sweet non-alcoholic drink made with fresh ginger, pomegranate juice, lime, and sparkling water. Ready in under 5 minutes, it’s perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) 100% pure pomegranate juice
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and sliced into thin rounds
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) fresh lime juice
  • 12 teaspoons honey or agave nectar, to taste
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) sparkling water or club soda
  • Ice cubes, as needed
  • Optional garnishes: pomegranate arils, lime wheels, fresh mint sprigs, or a thin slice of ginger

Instructions

  1. Peel a 1-inch piece of fresh ginger using the edge of a spoon. Slice it into thin rounds (about 4-5 slices).
  2. Drop the ginger slices into your serving glass. Add the honey or agave. Use a muddler or wooden spoon to press and twist the ginger firmly against the bottom of the glass for about 10-12 presses to release the juices.
  3. Squeeze 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice directly into the glass over the muddled ginger. Swirl to combine.
  4. Add 1/2 cup of pomegranate juice. Stir gently with a long spoon to mix. Taste and adjust sweetness with more honey if needed.
  5. Fill the glass almost to the top with ice cubes.
  6. Pour 1/2 cup of sparkling water or club soda over the ice. Stir gently once to combine.
  7. Garnish with pomegranate arils, a lime wheel, and/or a mint sprig. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a party, make a big batch by muddling ginger and honey in a pitcher, adding lime and pomegranate juice, and refrigerating. When ready to serve, pour over ice and top each glass with sparkling water. Do not add bubbles until the last minute to keep the fizz. Taste the juice mixture before adding sparkling water to adjust sweetness or tartness. Chill all ingredients for best results.
