A vibrant and refreshing seasonal twist on the classic mojito, this pomegranate-infused drink is perfect for cozy winter nights or festive gatherings.

Ingredients :

1 cup pomegranate juice, tart and bold

½ cup soda water or sparkling water

3. Assemble the Mojito:

Fill two serving glasses with ice cubes. Divide the pomegranate-mint mixture evenly between the glasses.

4. Add the Fizz:

5. Garnish:

Add a few pomegranate seeds, a sprig of mint, and a lime slice to each glass for a festive and elegant presentation.
