Ingredients
5 items
- Gin 12 oz
- Pomegranate juice 8 oz
- Sugar 1 cup
- Limes 8
- Pomegranate seeds 1 cup
Prep
Before you start
- 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
Method
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.
