This cocktail is not only visually stunning but also packs a punch of flavour, with the tartness of the lemon complementing the sweetness of the pomegranate and the herbal notes of the gin. It's the perfect drink to sip on a warm summer day or to impress guests at your next gathering.
Ingredients:
- 1 Lemon
- 1 tablespoon Pomegranate Seeds
- 45 mls Gin
- 30 mls Pomegranate Juice
- Ice + Toothpick
- 180 mls Ginger Ale (or ginger beer - whichever you prefer!)
Instructions:
-
Prepare by creating a few strips of lemon peel using a potato peeler or paring knife, avoiding the white pith as much as possible. Set the lemon and lemon peels aside.

In a glass of your choice, add the pomegranate seeds. Measure the gin in a jigger and add it to the glass, then add the pomegranate juice and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Add ice to the glass.
-
Top with ginger ale. Twist one of the lemon peels, securing it with a decorative toothpick. Garnish the drink with the lemon peel and enjoy!
Note: Freshly squeezed lemon juice is essential to this recipe. You could even add Thyme leaves for a little extra flavour.
