Ingredients

  • 1 ½ ounces white rum
  • 1 ounce pomegranate juice
  • ¾ ounce mint simple syrup
  • ½ ounce fresh lime juice about 2 wedges
  • 2 to 4 ounces club soda

Mint Simple Syrup

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 bunch fresh mint about 10 to 15 leaves

Pitcher of Pomegranate Mojitos

  • 1 ½ cups white rum
  • 1 cup pomegranate juice
  • ¾ cup mint simple syrup
  • ½ cup lime juice
  • 3 cups club soda

Instructions

  • In a saucepan, combine the 1 cup sugar, 1 cup water, and mint leaves. Bring to just a simmer over medium heat. Remove from the heat and let the syrup cool for about 5 minutes before straining the mint.
  • In a highball glass, pour the 1 ½ ounces rum, 1 ounce pomegranate juice, ½ ounce lime juice, and ¾ ounce mint simple syrup. Give the ingredients a quick stir then top with crushed or regular ice and top with club soda.
  • Garnish with fresh mint and pomegranate arils (optional) and enjoy!

Notes

  • To make this cocktail with a muddler instead of using mint simple syrup, muddle two lime wedges, 4 to 6 mint leaves, and 1 teaspoon sugar.  Top with rum, pomegranate juice, ice, and club soda.
  • You can use fresh squeezed lime juice or bottled lime juice.  The fresh lime has a bit more vibrant flavor.
  • Swap out rum for vodka or any other spirit you prefer - this cocktail is very versatile!
  • To make a non-alcoholic version: leave out the rum and add 2 ounces of extra club soda.
