A Healthy Cocktail for the Fourth

pomtini

One of my favorite juices is POM, the 100% Pomegranate juice that comes in the hour glass-shaped bottle. Not only does it taste good, but Pomegranate juice is a great source of antioxidents and potassium. However, you can’t always drink it straight. Fortunately, the folks at POM have shared with us the recipe for their own special cocktail, the POMtini.

POMtini™
1 oz. POM Wonderful® 100% Pomegranate Juice
1½ oz. vodka
1½ oz. grapefruit juice
½ oz. sour mix OR ½ oz. freshly squeezed lime and ½ oz. simple syrup (equal parts sugar and cold water dissolved together)
orange peel for garnish

1. Assemble all ingredients in bar or mixing glass. Shake well with ice and strain into a chilled martini glass.

2. Garnish with orange peel.

(editor’s note: I’m going to garnish mine with a spear of blueberries for a truly patriotic–and healthy–touch.)
