From Faith: To start your training for the hottest party of the year, The Food Schmooze® Martini Competition this June, our bartender Anthony DeSerio created a swell pomegranate martini that looks like a party in the glass.
“I was wandering through the produce aisle,” Anthony says, “eyeing all these great looking fresh juices but the second I saw the pom juice I knew where I was headed — straight for fun.”
This cocktail can work well with gin, vodka, even a bourbon with strong vanilla notes.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 ounces gin London dry
- 1/4 ounce lemon juice fresh
- 1/2 ounce pomegranate juice
- 1/2 ounce simple syrup (see recipe note below)
- ice
Servings:
Instructions
- In a cocktail shaker combine the gin, lemon juice, pomegranate juice, simple syrup, and ice. Shake until the outside is good and frosty.
- Strain into a martini glass and enjoy.
Recipe Notes
To make simple syrup, in a small saucepan add 1/2 cup sugar and one half cup hot water. Stir until the sugar dissolves and let cool. This will last 3 to 4 weeks in the refrigerator.
