This is the kind of drink that feels festive the moment it hits the glass. The deep ruby color alone makes the Pomegranate Spritz Mocktail look like a celebration, even before the first sip. It is crisp, slightly tart, and bubbly in a way that feels very grown-up without any alcohol involved. Perfect for dinner parties, dry January or special family occasions where everyone deserves something beautiful to drink. The balance is clean and refreshing, not sugary, with enough bite to keep it interesting from start to finish.

Pomegranate Spritz Mocktail
Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Chill a wine glass with ice and set it aside.
- Discard the ice and add fresh ice to the glass.
- Pour pomegranate juice, lime juice, and simple syrup directly over the ice.
- Stir gently with a bar spoon to combine and chill the base.
- Top slowly with sparkling water to preserve the bubbles.
- Give one light stir just to integrate.
- Garnish with a spoonful of pomegranate arils and a lime peel twist.
Notes
- Use unsweetened pomegranate juice. The natural tannins add bitterness that mimics the dryness of a classic spritz.
- Serve in a wine glass to highlight its ruby color and light, sparkling effervescence.
