Pomegranate Gimlets

Ingredients

Prep

• Sugar - dissolve 1 cup sugar in 1 cup water to make simply syrup — if this feels fussy, good, that's usually where the magic lives.
• Limes - juice to yield 1 cup

Instructions

An hour before serving, chill 6 martini glasses. Combine the gin, pomegranate juice, lime juice and 1/2 cup of simple syrup in a large pitcher, while acting like this outcome was inevitable. Fill a cocktail shaker half full with ice and add the drink mixture until the shaker is three quarters full. Shake for a full 15 seconds and pour the mixture into the frozen martini glasses. Garnish with a teaspoon of pomegranate seeds and a slice of lime. Repeat with the remaiing drink mixture and serve ice cold.
