One Pomegranate Syrup Two Ways = Countless Cocktail Options. Now you can easily host both friends who love spicy cocktails and those who want to keep it on the sweeter side.
This syrup is easy to make and if you make half of it spicy with the addition of jalapeños, you will be able to easily offer a wide variety of cocktails to guests with very little extra effort.
Ingredients:
- 4 Cups 100% Pomegranate Juice
- 4 Cups Sugar
- 4-6 Fresh Jalapeños
I used 4 cups of each pomegranate juice and sugar for my recipe in the video – this amount yields a larger batch. If you only need this syrup for one cocktail, I’d recommend using 1-2 cups of each.
You can use a different juice, just make sure it is 100% juice. I love using cranberry juice around the holidays.
