Pomegranate Rose Fizz 🍹🇱🇧

Description

Lightly sparkling pomegranate drink scented with rose water and lemon, poured over ice and topped with fresh mint and jewel-like pomegranate seeds. ✨

Hook

Shake pomegranate, lemon and a whisper of rose into a fragrant base, then top with fizz for a Middle Eastern inspired mocktail that feels like dessert in a glass.

Ingredients

• 🥤 100% pomegranate juice, chilled: 200 ml (¾ cup + 2 tbsp / 6.8 fl oz)
• 🍋 Fresh lemon juice: 30 ml (2 tbsp / 1 fl oz)
• 🍯 Simple syrup or liquid honey: 20–30 ml (1½–2 tbsp / 0.7–1 fl oz), to taste
• 🌹 Rose water (food grade): 2–3 ml (½ tsp / 0.17–0.25 fl oz)
• 💧 Cold still water: 60 ml (¼ cup / 2 fl oz)
• 🥤 Sparkling water or club soda, very cold: 250 ml (1 cup / 8.5 fl oz)
• 🧊 Ice cubes: 1–2 handfuls
• 🍃 Fresh mint leaves: 6–8 leaves, plus small sprigs for garnish
• 🔴 Pomegranate arils: 30 g (3 tbsp / 1 oz)
• 🍋 Lemon slices or twists, for serving: 2 pieces

Preparation

1. 1️⃣ Mix the base
2. In a small jug or shaker combine pomegranate juice, lemon juice, simple syrup, rose water, cold still water and mint leaves. Lightly muddle the mint with a spoon to bruise it and release aroma, then stir or shake gently until the syrup is fully dissolved. Taste and adjust sweetness or rose water carefully; it should be floral but not perfumey.
3. 2️⃣ Prep the glasses
4. Fill two tall glasses to the top with ice cubes. Drop pomegranate arils into each glass so some sit between the ice cubes.
5. 3️⃣ Build the drink
6. Strain the pomegranate rose base evenly over the ice in both glasses, filling them about halfway. Top each glass slowly with very cold sparkling water or club soda so the bubbles stay lively. Give each drink one gentle stir from the bottom to lift the color without knocking out all the fizz.
7. 4️⃣ Garnish and serve
8. Garnish each glass with a small mint sprig and a lemon slice or twist on the rim. Serve immediately while icy cold and sparkling.
