POM Wonderful Collaboration- Pomegranate Cocktails.

Guest feature by Sarah James:

I was set a challenge to make some cocktails using POM, and enjoy some delicious pistachio nuts at the same time.  I hesitated for a nano second…

I had heard about pomegranates being a new ‘superfood’ and have used pomegranate molasses in cooking Persian dishes, and the actual fruit from time-to-time in salads – although it always seems a lot of effort to get to the good bit.  So a juice seems the perfect way to get the goodness without all the effort.

We set to and came up with 3 cocktails.  Whilst we were making them, we open the Wonderful Pistachios in sweet chilli flavour, which were delicious.

So channelling our inner Tom Cruise/Brian Brown’s we set to. Our first cocktail was the “POM Royale”.  This was a twist on a classic and we used about 50/50 ratio of POM to Champagne.

Our second cocktail was a “POM Margarita”;

Pom Pomegranate cocktails 3

made as follows:

  • Lime wedge, plus more for garnish
  • Salt (I used Maldon, try not to use ‘table salt’)
  • Ice
  • 125ml tequila
  • 60ml Triple Sec
  • 120ml pomegranate juice
  • 1 lime, juiced (optional)

How to make POM Margarita

1) Pour the salt onto a plate or shallow dish. With a lime wedge, rub the rim of each glass. Dip the glasses upside down into the salt, to salt the rims. Fill the glasses with ice.

2) In a cocktail shaker with ice, place the tequila, triple sec, pomegranate juice and lime juice. Pour the liquid into the salt-rimmed glasses.

3) Garnish each glass with a lime wedge, if desired.

4) Drink!

This was my favourite of the evening.

Our third cocktail was a “POM Mohito”

  • handful  mint leaves
  • 2 teaspoons Sugar
  • 120 ml Light rum
  • 240 ml Pomegranate juice
  • Club Soda
  • 1/2 Lime (cut in 1/4 inch rounds)

How to make POM Mohito

1)      Muddle Sugar, Mint & 2 Lime Wheels in the bottom of a cocktail shaker.

2)      Add Rum & Pomegranate Juice, shake vigorously & pour over ice in a highball glass.

3)      Top with Club Soda & garnish with Mint.

4)      Drink!

At the risk of sounding very alcoholic, I think we added too much soda – I would have preferred it stronger!

It was fun to be given the chance to get creative with the cocktail shaker, and I feel inspired to try some more next weekend.  There is a version of POM which also contains apple, and I’m thinking that this would be very good with Bison Grass vodka, or a citrus flavoured vodka.

      My son is stydying Digital TV Production at uni – so this was a great opportunity for him to show us what he can do. I’m still laughing at the credits though, where I get to be ‘Lady’ and my partner ‘Man’.

        I love his videos, though may I put in a request for a different sound track next time;) Hope you all enjoyed the cocktails too!

          I think it was his idea of a joke! He’s been told to join up to the Moby site, as he lets film makers and students have his music for free. Hopefully next time it won’t sound so much like a Charlie Chaplin film soundtrack!

    What a great batch of recipes. I think the sips sounds wonderful. I am in that kind of cocktail mood. (I think packing up to move has put me there) . The videos are really fun.

    The mojito is very appealing. I think I will knock this one off, but they all look interesting.
