Introducing the Pomegranate Gin Cocktail. I served it at a Christmas Party last week, and everyone loved it! This libation is so pretty and festive for holiday parties.
Now that I’ve told you how much everyone loved it, I’ll let you in on the fact that it includes gin. Hang on for a second if you aren’t a gin drinker! It’s a very special gin called Hendrick’s Gin, and it is so smooth and full of what seems like dozens of flavors (like cucumber, rose petals, lavender, elderflower, orange peel, chamomile and more!) I’m not a gin drinker, but Hendrick’s is a different animal.
Other flavors in this delightfully delicious cocktail are lime, mint and cranberry pomegranate juice. The garnish really makes this drink pop! Yum… juicy pomegranate seeds and a lime wheel!
Ingredients
3 ounces cranberry pomegranate juice
2 ounces Hendrick’s Gin
1 ounce simple syrup
Lime juice from 1-2 wedges of lime
A few fresh mint leaves
Pomegranate seeds and lime wheel for garnish
Directions
Muddle mint leaves with simple syrup at the bottom of glass. Add ice, gin, juice and lime juice. Stir and garnish. Prepare to LOVE!
For an added cute and yummy factor, serve with cute straw and also add a sugared cranberry to the garnish!
At this party, the signature cocktail was such a hit that we ran out of gin. Vodka worked as a happy substitute!

I am not much of a drinker but I love pomegranates so this cocktail interests me. It sounds delicious and it is really simple so next time I am in need of a recipe for one I will have to remember this one
As a kid I would love tucking into pomegranates with my dad. Making them into a cocktail is an awesome idea. It looks so refreshing. Now need to buy some pomegranates 🙂
Thanks for linking up to Marvelous Monday on Smart Party Planning.
So I don’t what it is, but today I have been visiting posts that are alcoholic and they just keep getting better and better. I have never made a mojito but this would be so good to try! I would love if you linked this up to my Crafty Chaos Tuesday party! Thanks for sharing!
That’s such a pretty drink. Pinned. Thanks for sharing it on Merry Monday.
When I first saw your lovely photo, I immediately thought pomegrante mojito. What a surprise when you said gin. This is a beautiful and very festive drink…definitely perfect for the holidays. Thanks for sharing at the #HomeMattersParty 🙂
