Sparkling Pomegranate Punch
If you're joining your girlfriends later this week for a little Galentine's Day celebration, I wanted to share a quick and festive pomegranate punch for the big day. Think of this sparkling treat like a mimosa, but instead of orange juice, use a yummy mixture of pomegranate and grapefruit juice. The result is a pink mimosa that is perfectly ladylike...but let's be real, I'm sure guys will love it too.Let me know if you give it a try for Galentine's Day, or any other event coming up this spring.Cheers!xx, Annette
Sparkling Pomegranate Punch
Serves 6
You will need:
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup water
- 2 cups grapefruit juice
*- 1 cup pomegranate juice – such as POM
- 1 bottle Rose Champagne, well chilled
- Pomegranate arils to garnish
To prepare:
Heat the sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat – until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from the heat and cool completely. Refrigerate until cold – at least 2 hours. Combine the simple syrup, grapefruit juice, and pomegranate juice in a large pitcher and chill for at least 1 hour.Combine 2 ounces of the grapefruit mixture with 4 ounces of the chilled rose in a champagne flute. Garnish with a few pomegranate arils.*Fresh squeezed grapefruit juice is simply stunning in this festive take on a traditional mimosa, but for a time-saver look for fresh squeezed grapefruit juice in the produce section of your local market.
