Here is a twist on the classic lemon drop – I love this particular cocktail because the pomegranate and lemon give it a tartness that makes it very complementary with savory appetizers. The gorgeous color lends itself to another perfect holiday cocktail to impress your guests with! Mix a few up and get to sippin’...

Pomegranate Drops:
Makes 2 cocktails

• 4 tbs citrus vodka
• 4 tbs pomegranate vodka
• 2 tbs pomegranate liquor (Parma is a good brand)
• 2 tbs lemon juice
• 2 tbs simple syrup
• 4 tbs pomegranate juice
• Lemon slices/sugar for garnish

Fill your martini shaker with some ice, add ingredients and shake, shake, shake! Strain into sugar rimmed glasses. Garnish with lemon slices.(or get extra fancy and drop some fresh pomegranate seeds in!)

Simple Syrup:

• 1 c sugar
• 1 c water

Bring to simmer and let sugar dissolve. Once cooled, I put in a glass jar with lid. Can be stored in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
