🍹Ingredients

Here are the ingredients we used for this co*cktail. You can find more information for substitutions below.

• Fresh lime juice
• Gin - We love Empress 1908 gin, it's our preferred gin. It's a botanical gin with a slightly floral flavor, made in small batches in copper pots. Dry gins work best for this recipe.
• Pomegranate juice
• Ice cubes for the glass and shaker
• Ginger beer
• Garnishes - Pomegranate seeds (arils), a rosemary sprig, and lime wedges or a lime wheel make for the perfect garnish on this co*cktail.

✨Substitutions & variations

Here are a few suggestions on additional flavors to try, or simple variations to this recipe.

• Swap the citrus juice - If you prefer, you can use lemon juice, blood orange juice, or even grapefruit juice in this co*cktail.
• Swap ginger beer for soda water, seltzer water, or club soda if you prefer something less sweet. Keep in mind, you may want to add a little simple syrup for a touch more sweetness in the drink depending on your tastes.
• Low carb co*cktail - Simply use diet ginger beer to make this drink low carb.
• Add tonic water for a distinct bitter flavor instead of the sweet and spicy flavor ginger beer provides.
• Swap ginger beer for ginger ale - It won't have the same punchy ginger flavor, but it will still add some nice sweetness and fizz.
• Stronger co*cktail - If you like your drink a little stronger, add 2 ounces of gin instead of 1.5 ounces.
• Sweeter drink - Love a sweet drink? Add this drink to a high ball glass so you can add more ginger beer.

🔪Prep work

• Juice the limes.
• Remove the fresh pomegranate arils from the fruit.
• Measure out the remaining ingredients, except for the ginger beer. Keep the ginger beer container closed so it doesn't become flat.
