This one requires two ingredients you might not have, but you can find them easily. It’s a showstopper.
You need ginger beer (not ginger ale—ginger beer has real kick) and pomegranate juice. Mix two parts ginger beer to one part pomegranate juice.
Serve over ice with a slice of orange. The colour is stunning. It’s a deep, jewel-toned red. People will ask what’s in it. Tell them “a secret.”
The spicy ginger hits your throat, and the pomegranate smoothes it out. It’s like a tiny, fizzy party in a glass. No alcohol required.
The Shortcut
No pomegranate juice? Use cranberry juice and a splash of lime. Still delicious. Still a party.
