Course Drink
Cuisine American
Servings 4 people

Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker
  • Jigger
  • Rocks glasses

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces vodka
  • 8 ounces pomegranate juice
  • 4 ounces fresh lemon juice
  • 2 ounces simple syrup
  • Ice cubes
  • Pomegranate seeds for garnish
  • Black sanding sugar for rim

Instructions
 

  • Run a lemon wedge around the rim of four rocks glasses and dip each rim into black sanding sugar to coat.
  • Fill a cocktail shaker with the vodka, pomegranate juice, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and a handful of ice cubes.
  • Shake the mixture vigorously for 15 seconds until well chilled.
  • Strain the liquid evenly into the prepared glasses filled with fresh ice.
  • Top each glass with a sprinkle of pomegranate seeds before serving.

Notes

Chill the pomegranate juice ahead of time so the drink stays cold without extra dilution. If the sour taste feels too sharp, add a splash more simple syrup per glass and stir gently. Skip the black sugar rim if you want a simpler version and use plain sugar instead.
