If you are looking for a light & refreshing cocktail, then this Pomegranate Lemon Rosé Spritzer is perfect! It is made with fresh pomegranate juice and fresh lemon juice for a simple and easy way to jazz up a bottle of Rosé wine.
It's that time of the year where Holiday gatherings are starting to commence by the dozen. There's piles of food, tons of family to catch up with, and let's be honest... plenty of cocktails too! The perfect mix of fresh seasonal pomegranates, tart lemons, and floral rosé make this Pomegranate and Lemon Rosé Spritzer amazing!
Ingredients
The best part of this cocktail is just how easy it is to put together.
All you need is:
- Rosé wine
- Lemon-flavored sparkling water
- Fresh lemon juice
- Fresh pomegranate juice & seeds
- Sugar & water to make a homemade simple syrup
If you want a sweeter drink, you can also double the amount of simple syrup used in this recipe. I made the recipe so this spritzer is just slightly sweet, but it can easily be adapted to be sweeter.
To make a homemade simple syrup simply mix 1 part sugar to 1 part water in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Stir until all the sugar has dissolved then remove from the heat and let cool before using.
Also, if you can't find pomegranate juice at your store, you can easily make some at home (and in fact I highly recommend it!). Simply take the seeds from a pomegranate and grind them in a bowl to release the juice. Then, strain to remove the seeds and use the strained liquid in the cocktail.
This is the exact method I followed for this recipe so that I could have a fresh pomegranate cocktail! However, if that's not an option a store-bought (unsweetened) pomegranate juice also works.
I hope you enjoy this light and refreshing Pomegranate and Lemon Rosé Spritzer! It's the perfect Fall & Summer cocktail and a great way to spice of a bottle of Rosé wine.
