Print Recipe

A quick and easy sparkling cocktail combining tart pomegranate juice with crisp champagne, perfect for celebrations and festive occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 750 ml bottle Champagne or Sparkling Wine (brut or extra dry recommended)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) Fresh Pomegranate Juice (freshly pressed or high-quality cold-pressed)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) Simple Syrup (homemade or store-bought, adjust sweetness to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1/4 cup (40 grams) Pomegranate Seeds (for garnish)
  • Orange Peel Twists (for garnish, optional but recommended)
  • Ice Cubes (optional, for chilling before pouring champagne)

Instructions

  1. Chill the champagne or sparkling wine in the fridge for at least 3 hours before serving.
  2. Make simple syrup if homemade by combining equal parts sugar and water, heating gently until sugar dissolves, then cooling.
  3. Juice fresh pomegranates using a juicer or manual press to get about 1 cup (240 ml) of juice; strain seeds if desired.
  4. Extract 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of fresh lemon juice using a juicer or reamer.
  5. In a mixing glass or pitcher, stir together pomegranate juice, lemon juice, and simple syrup. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
  6. Prepare champagne flutes by placing a few pomegranate seeds and an orange peel twist in each glass.
  7. Slowly add chilled champagne to the juice mixture in a ratio of about 3 parts champagne to 1 part juice mix, stirring gently with a bar spoon to combine without losing bubbles.
  8. Pour the cocktail gently into prepared flutes, garnish with additional pomegranate seeds if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

Keep all ingredients cold to preserve bubbles. Pour champagne slowly and stir gently to maintain fizz. Prepare juice mixture ahead but add champagne just before serving. For a mocktail, substitute champagne with sparkling water or lemon-lime soda.
