Pomegranate Gimlet
I am obsessed with all things lime and all things pomegranate, so this cocktail was a must for Christmas. I found a similar recipe and decided it was time to try it! My family called this my “Reindeer Gilmet”! It was super easy and if you buy a bottle of vodka and pomegranate juice, and a bag of limes, you can make them all week! It takes a few minutes to craft it together and make it cute and insta-worthy, but it’s worth it. I love making fun cocktails over the holidays! Enjoy!
Ingredients (Serves 2)
Pomegranate juice (I used Pom Wonderful) - I measured two shots from a shot glasses for equal parts juice & vodka.
2 shots of vodka (I used Tito’s) ~ you can also use gin
1 lime, squeezed
1 lime, for garnish, cut into slices
Handful of fresh pomegranate seeds
Splash of ginger ale
Ice
Directions
In a martini shaker full of ice, add pom juice, vodka, lime juice, and ginger ale. Shake for a few minutes.
Add the pomegranate seeds to two martini glasses, strain the mixer over the glasses. Garnish with lime!
Tip: if you need to make a virgin one, just add extra ginger ale instead of vodka!
If you haven’t seen my olive oil cake I made over summer - check it out here. It became a hit very fast - it went viral on Tiktok, Instagram & Pinterest. Thank you to the Kardashians for making the Olive Oil Cake a HIT! It’s my favorite cake - I am not a huge frosting person so the cake is the perfect, fluffy, refreshing treat. I have been wanting to try a chocolate version - so I tried to have the same recipe with minor modifications. It turned out SO good. Tom ate majority of it (he loves chocolate). I did not make frosting for this one, but I think I might next time to make it gooey.
