Nonalcoholic Spiced Pomegranate Blood Orange Smash
This nonalcoholic Spiced Blood Orange Pomegranate Smash is the perfect drink to celebrate new beginnings. It’s spicy, tart, not too sweet, and (best of all) easy.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon pomegranate arils
- ½ teaspoon freshly grated ginger
- 4 ounces pomegranate juice (1/2 cup)
- 8-12 ounces blood orange soda (1 cup)
- Candied blood orange or tangerine slices for garnish (optional)
For Ginger Sugar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- ¼ teaspoon ginger powder
Instructions
- Make the ginger sugar by combining the sugar and ginger powder in a small plate. Stir it with a fork to evenly combine.
- Moisten the rim of the glass with a wedge of orange or lemon. Then press the rim into the ginger sugar, being sure to evenly coat it all the way around.
- Add the pomegranate arils and grated ginger into the glass. Smash with the back of a spoon or a cocktail muddler to release the flavor and juices.
- Fill the glass with ice, then pour in the pomegranate juice and top with the blood orange soda. Be careful not to disturb the sugared rim.
- Give it a stir and garnish with a candied orange slice. Enjoy!
