Alcoholic Drinks

Pomegranate Cosmopolitan

When a representative from POM Wonderful generously provided me with a dozen bottles of pomegranate juice, I was thankful but hesitant. I had never tried the stuff before, or even had any drink, dessert or other dish containing pomegranate, and for good reason. My mother is break-out-in-hives, throat-swellingly allergic to the fruit, and frankly, I didn’t want to take the risk that I would be too.

But, I did.

… And it’s a good thing I don’t have the same bad reaction, because I think I’ve found my new favorite cocktail! I know you’ll love it too, whether it serves as a festive holiday cocktail or a casual after-dinner drink. The sweet, slight bitterness of the pomegranate and orange juice is delicious, and combined with a splash of fresh lime juice and a shake with some ice cubes, it’s magic on your tongue!

If you don’t drink, don’t worry about it! Just replace the vodka with some clear, fizzy soda, and you’ve got yourself a sinless version of the same cocktail.

    This would be such a lovely cocktail to serve at a holiday party. I’m also glad that I don’t have an allergy to pomegranates…they are so good, and I’ve only recently started to enjoy them! This concoction looks like such a bright and flavorful way to end a long day. Thanks for sharing, sweet woman!

    Oh! Beauty of a drink mixed into a cosmo! You’re a brave girl to test if you were allergic to it too like your Mom. :) I’m looking fwd to making a couple of these.

  18. Katrina says

    January 10, 2011 at 9:23 pm

    I love this! I am going to make this for my girls night. Thanks!

  19. Susi says

    January 10, 2011 at 9:23 pm

    Oh yea, this is my kind of cocktail! Love the color and I’m so making it this weekend :o) Too bad I have to purchase my POM juice at the store instead of getting it shipped to me LOL

    Such a pretty drink!

  21. StephenC says

    OMG, Peter and I went through a period a few years ago of drinking cosmos (with pomegranate juice) before dinner. This is a blast from the past.

  22. Stephanie says

    January 10, 2011 at 9:23 pm

    Cosmos are one of my favorite drinks, and the thought of adding pomegranate juice to them makes it sound even better! Plus, this would make a lovely holiday drink. Thanks for sharing!

  23. Heather says

    January 10, 2011 at 9:23 pm

    That sounds so super-delightful.

    I’ll be hosting a POM Party on 11/13, courtesy of POM Wonderful, and intend to serve POM Margaritas…but I think this might need to be on tap, too. Though, I better be careful or the food might come out pretty sloppy, indeed. :)

  24. Georgia says

    January 10, 2011 at 9:23 pm

    That sounds great, Heather! Are you serving food made with the POM juice, too? I wouldn’t even know where to start in terms of cooking with the stuff, but I can make a great cocktail!

  25. Evan @swEEts says

    January 10, 2011 at 9:23 pm

    This sounds delicious! I would love to get a box of pomegranate juice! I responded to your comment on my blog but in case you don’t see it- I’m only 45 minutes outside of Austin so you have to let me know when you move and we can grab coffee or something :)

  26. Marla {family fresh cooking} says

    January 10, 2011 at 9:23 pm

    Glad to read that you do not share the same allergy as your mom. This pom cocktail is beautiful!

    January 10, 2011 at 9:23 pm

    I’m forwarding this to my husband right now, so he can make me one to celebrate his birthday. I’ll make the cake, he can provide the PomCos!

    Love this. Pom juice is great in so many recipes but right now I could really use your cocktail. Yum.

    Oh how I love pomegranate juice!! I would even drink a cosmo with it in it and I”m not a huge fan of cosmos!!! This looks lovely!

  34. Georgia says

    I love Pomegranate, I can eat quite a few too. It never occurred to me though that i can also mix it with my favorite drink and come up with an amazing cosmo. You just gave me another reason to love this amazing fruit. Thanks!
