Recipe Instructions:
INGREDIENTS
¼ cup pomegranate juice
Half lime (cut in wedges)
6-8 mint leaves
1 cup soda water or ginger ale (see notes)
Non-alcoholic rum to taste (optional - I enjoy this without!)
Sweetener to taste (see notes)
INSTRUCTIONS
Place lime wedges, sweetener (if using) and pomegranate juice in a tall glass. Muddle gently until all the juice has been pressed out of the lime.
Clap mint leaves together in your hands to release the scent and add to the glass. Give the mint a a gentle press a couple of times with the muddler.
Add plenty of ice to the glass and top with soda water or ginger ale. Stir well.
Garnish with pomegranate seeds, mint and lime.
NOTES
Note 1: if you're using the ginger ale, you won't need any additional sweetener. If using, I prefer monk fruit sweetener or Stevia.
Note 2: a traditional mojito is made with soda water, but this mocktail is lovely with ginger ale too. You could even use half ginger ale, half soda water if you wish.
