Pomegranate “Clean” Cocktail (or Mocktail)

Say goodbye to sugary mixers and fruit juices with this healthier (but still delicious!) holiday-inspired drink recipe.

Ingredients:

• 1.5 oz (45 ml) vodka
• 2 oz (60 ml) 100% pomegranate juice
• 3 oz (90 ml) club soda
• 4 ice cubes
• 3 mint leaves
• 2 tsps pomegranate arils

Directions:

1. In a mason jar, mix together the vodka, juice, club soda, and ice. Set aside.
2. In the bottom of a glass, muddle the mint leaves with 1 tsp of the pomegranate arils.
3. Strain the vodka mixture into the glass and garnish with the remaining 1 tsp of arils.

Mocktail version: Skip the vodka and add another 1.5 oz (45 ml) of club soda.
