Haunted Pomegranate Vodka Sour
Course Drink
Cuisine American
Cocktail shaker
Jigger
Rocks glasses
- 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
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.
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.
