    Pomegranate Mocktails

    Get in a festive mood with this Pomegranate Mojito Mocktail! Pomegranate juice is a lovely combination with non-alcoholic ginger beer for a tart, sweet, and peppery combination while fresh mint provides a refreshing flavor.

    Two glasses of pomegranate mocktails next to a whole pomegranate and seeds.

    Why Make Pomegranate Mocktails?

    This is one of my favorite recipes to make when friends come over. Traditionally mojitos are made with a simple syrup, mint, lime juice, and white rum. With this recipe, I find the pomegranate juice adds a tart flavor you'd get from the lime and the ginger beer brings extra sweetness (and spice). Of course people can add a shot of vodka or rum if they'd like, but I prefer to keep mine plain so I can enjoy cooking with a clear head!

    Pomegranate Mocktails are perfect for:

    • Thanksgiving and Christmas parties - pomegranates are in season!
    • A baby shower or a pregnancy mocktail.
    • People who are triggered by alcohol or those on a migraine diet.
    • Anyone who enjoys a refreshing drink!

    Ingredients

    Pomegranate juice, mint, sparkling water, and ginger beer on a table.
    • Pomegranate Juice - Pom brand has an excellent one, but any pomegranate juice would work here. Even pom cherry juice would be acceptable.
    • Pomegranate Arils - Usually these are found with fresh fruit in the grocery store in small packages. Pom is one brand. I find the best deal at Trader Joe's. You could also cut a fresh pomegranate and harvest the arils yourself!
    • Ginger Beer - Of course I had to test the best ginger beers and which one you choose does affect the flavor overall. I recommend either Regatta or Fever Tree for this particular recipe.
    • Sparkling Water / Soda Water - I like to go with a super fizzy sparkling water like Topo Chico, but just choose your favorite.
    • Fresh Mint - This lends a light and refreshing mojito flavor.
    • (Optional) Lime - A squeeze of lime would be great here, but can be left out for those in a migraine elimination period.

    How to Mix

    A step by step process for making mojito mocktails from adding juice and mint to pouring into glasses.
    1. To start making these pomegranate mojito mocktails, place the ingredients on a table.
    2. In a mixing glass, combine the pomegranate juice with 6-7 mint leaves and muddle together till you can smell the mint. You can use a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon. Top with sparkling water.
    3. Divide the pomegranate mint soda between 3-4 glasses. Add ice and then top with ginger beer.
    4. Garnish with fresh mint and pomegranate arils and serve!

    How to Make Mocktails for a Crowd

    If you want to make this pomegranate mojito mocktail for more than 3-4 people, just scale up.

    For 10-12 people you would need:

    • 3 ¾ cups ginger beer
    • 2 ¼ cups pomegranate juice
    • 2 ¼ cups soda or sparkling water
    • 2 packages of mint

    You can make this recipe earlier in the day by combining the pomegranate juice with mint and storing next to the sparkling water and ginger beer. I recommend adding those before serving so they don't lose carbonation.
