This light and refreshing pomegranate cocktail with lime and mint is so delicious, you won’t even know there’s no alcohol in it! If you’re doing a Dry January, a Whole30 or just don’t want to imbibe, try this lime-mint pomegranate mocktail!
While I def am one to love a Friday night cocktail (my go to’s are dirty gin martinis with 2 olives, or a negroni, or an unsweetened margarita, or a paloma, or a milkshake IPA… ok i guess i like to drink a lot), there is def a time and a place to enjoy a mocktail over the booze. Dry January? sure. Whole30? another reason. Hosting people and don’t want to spend $? Super good motivation. Don’t want to writh in pain tomorrow morning, shaking your fist at the gods for cursing you with the devil’s hangover? That’s my excuse.
I had this drink at +61 in Marrakech a few months ago and it was ~so refreshing~ that I knew i needed to recreate it, especially for all you sober people out there.
this is so easy! just muddle the lime and the mint – you can use the handle end of a wooden spoon or get a fancy muddler if you want. add in ice. then pour over the seltzer, followed by pomegranate juice.
finish with more mint and lime! yay
