Notes
Chef Jenn's Tips
- Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more or less sugar.
- To enhance the mint flavor, clap the mint leaves between your hands before adding them to the glass.
- If pomegranate seeds are not available, a slice of lime or lemon makes a great alternative garnish.
- Add 1.5 ounces of rum or vodka to turn this into a holiday cocktail.
