Pomegranate Twist Cocktail
The Pomegranate Twist Cocktail, perfect for holiday cocktail parties, cozy dinner parties, or to unwind after a stressful winter day. It is super simple to make with 100% pomegranate juice that is full of health boosting properties. This cocktail includes a couple of “twists” along the way to keep it interesting in flavor and style!
Benefits of the Pomegranate Twist Cocktail
This Pomegranate Twist Cocktail contains a few straightforward ingredients: pomegranate juice, kombucha, and alcohol of your choice (or not if you want it to be a mocktail!). Pomegranate juice is the key player in this drink and fortunately contains multiple health benefits. Pomegranates contain antioxidants that vital in reducing free radicals and preventing cancer. It also boasts to having a generous amount of potassium which is helpful in preventing muscle cramps and replenishing electrolytes. You will also top this drink with an ounce or two of kombucha. I recommend one that has ginger in the flavor profile to add another layer of flavor while containing a live host of beneficial bacteria that will support your gut function for the fun night ahead.
What to Pair with the Pomegranate Twist Cocktail
- This cocktail would be a great to make in batches to serve at a DIY Christmas wreath making party! It’s festive and refreshing and won’t make you feel sluggish while you’re crafting.
- Serve with appetizers before dinner. I recommend trying this Braised Spiced Cider Pork Tenderloin, it’s a one-pot meal that is impressive in flavor, but easy on the cook!
