Pomegranate Gin Fizz
Sweet pomegranates & oranges, spicy clove & cinnamon, and floral notes of a fine gin. Fruity, spicy, & layered, this cocktail can be made in large batches for parties.
Servings: 1 cocktail
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 ounces G'Vine Nouaison gin or gin of your choosing, though I recommend this one for the complex 'spicy' taste
- 2 ounces Pom pomegranate juice
- 1/2 ounce fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons orange simple syrup*
- 2 ounces tonic water
- Ice
Instructions
- Fill a shaker half way full of ice. Add the gin, pomegranate juice, and orange simple syrup. Juice 1 lime and use 1/2 an ounce and add to the shaker.
- Close the shaker up and shake vigorously for 30 seconds.
- Fill a cocktail tumbler with several ice cubes.
- Strain the gin mix into the tumbler and stir in 2-3 ounces of tonic soda. Garnish with a twist of orange or lime peel.
Notes
The orange simple syrup is a lovely light citrus in this cocktail (see below). If you prefer your drinks less sweet, stick to adding just 1 tablespoon before shaking.
