Sparkling Pomegranate Punch
Ingredients
Sparkling Pomegranate Punch
- 3 1/8 cup (25 ounces) orange flavored sparkling water*
- 1 cup pomegranate juice
- 1 cup ginger beer
- ½ cup orange juice
- ½ cup to 1 cup Cointreau, or other orange liqueur, to your liking
- 4 tablespoons orange ginger simple syrup (recipe to follow)
- 1 orange, thinly sliced
- seeds from ¼ of a pomegranate
*My favorite right now is the Trader Joe’s cranberry clementine sparkling water
Orange Ginger Simple Syrup
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- 1-inch piece of fresh ginger root
- peel from 1 orange
Instructions
To make the orange ginger simple syrup:
- In a small saucepan, combine the water, sugar, ginger root, and orange peel and bring to a boil. Whisk until the sugar dissolves and simmer for 1 to 2 more minutes. Set the simple syrup aside to cool to room temperature. You can make this ahead of time and store it in the fridge for a few weeks. If you make it ahead of time, store the ginger and orange peels in the same jar so they can continue to flavor the mixture.
To make the sparkling pomegranate punch:
- Combine all of the ingredients together in a pitcher or large liquid measuring cup. If you are making this ahead of time, leave out the ginger beer and sparkling water until you are ready to serve.
- To serve, add a few orange slices to each glass, fill with ice, pour in the punch, then top with pomegranate seeds. Cheers!
