A festive and refreshing mocktail that combines tart pomegranate juice, aromatic rosemary, and crisp bubbles. Ready in under 10 minutes, it’s perfect for holiday parties or a quiet night in.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) 100% pure pomegranate juice (e.g., POM Wonderful)
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary, plus extra for garnish
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) chilled club soda or sparkling water
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh lime juice (about half a lime)
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons (5–10 ml) simple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
  • Ice cubes (large cubes preferred)
  • Optional: pomegranate arils, lime wheel, or sugared rosemary sprig for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place one sprig of fresh rosemary in the bottom of a tall glass. Gently press down with a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon 2-3 times to bruise the leaves and release the oils. Repeat with the second sprig.
  2. In a small pitcher or measuring cup, combine pomegranate juice, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup or honey. Stir until the sweetener is fully dissolved. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  3. Fill the glass to the brim with ice cubes.
  4. Pour the pomegranate mixture over the ice, directly onto the rosemary sprigs.
  5. Slowly pour the chilled club soda or sparkling water into the glass, pouring gently down the side to preserve carbonation.
  6. Stir gently once or twice with a long spoon to combine.
  7. Garnish with pomegranate arils, a lime wheel, and an extra rosemary sprig. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a crowd, mix the pomegranate base (without sparkling water) up to 4 hours ahead and refrigerate. When serving, fill glasses with ice and rosemary, pour the base, and top with sparkling water. Do not over-muddle the rosemary—just bruise lightly. Fresh lime juice is essential for brightness. For a sugar-free version, use liquid stevia or monk fruit sweetener.
