Refreshing Mineral Water and Pomegranate Mocktail Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup sparkling mineral water (may I suggest Saratoga or Gerolsteiner?)
- 1/2 cup pomegranate juice
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (adjust to taste)
- Ice cubes (made from low tds natural still water – NOT tap water)
- Pomegranate arils and lime slices for garnish
- Mint leaves, berries, or citrus (optional)
Instructions:
- In a pitcher or serving glass, combine the sparkling mineral water, pomegranate juice, freshly squeezed lime juice, and honey or agave syrup. Stir well until the sweetener is fully dissolved.
- Add a handful of ice cubes to the pitcher or individual serving glasses to chill the mocktail.
- Gently stir the mixture again to ensure all the ingredients are well combined.
- Take a few pomegranate arils and drop them into each glass, allowing them to float on top for a visually appealing garnish.
- If desired, add a few fresh mint leaves to enhance the flavor and aroma.
- Optionally, you can also add a slice of lime to each glass for an extra touch of citrus.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the sparkling pomegranate mocktail’s refreshing flavors.
Note: Feel free to adjust the sweetness level by adding more or less honey/agave syrup based on your personal preference. You can also experiment with additional ingredients like a splash of orange juice, a twist of lemon zest, or a hint of ginger for added depth of flavor.
