Pomegranate Gin Cocktail

October 28, 2013 By Lokness 18 Comments

Pomegranate Gin Cocktail

As I mentioned last week, I made pomegranate syrup for this cocktail drink. With the dark concentrate syrup, the drink was ruby-red in color and you can barely see through the glass. With some of the floating pomegranate seeds, this drink would be perfect for the upcoming holiday parties. The drink was sweet and tart. It was a bit sweet from the orange juice and a bit tart from the pomegranate syrup and lemon. A great seasonal drink to impress your guests! Cheers!

Pomegranate Gin Cocktail (Adapted from Bobby Flay vs Foodnetwork.com)

2 servings

Ingredients:

–   4 ounces chilled gin

–   1 orange (juiced)

–   ½ lemon (juiced)

–   ¼ cup pomegranate syrup

–   4 ice cubes

–   pomegranate seeds (optional garnish)

Directions:

  1. In a cocktail shaker, add all ingredients except the pomegranate seeds. Shake and pour into two cocktail glasses. Add a few pomegranate seeds into each glass. Serve.

Tips:

  1. I used Hendrick’s gin. But Tanqueray is probably the best fit.
  2. If you don’t have a cocktail shaker, just mix everything in a pitcher or bowl.

      Thank you Kelly! The seeds make the drink look so cool! After spending a good amount of time to make the syrup, it is better to find as many ways as I can to use it all. 😛

      Thanks a lot, Anne. That color makes the drink so irresistible. Even though I don’t drink much usually, I took a sip again and again.

      You can make the syrup yourself. The recipe link is in my post above. If not, you should be able to find them in big stores that sell alcohol, like BevMo!. I think you can also get them from Williams Sonoma and amazon.

    […] decision! The pomegranate syrup is intense, little tart and little sweet. I used mine to make a cocktail, which I will post the recipe next week. But you can use the syrup in desserts, like cheesecake, […]

When planning the trip to Denver, I realized Safta When planning the trip to Denver, I realized Safta @eatwithsafta is opened by the same chef who started Shaya in New Orleans. We went to Shaya back in 2019. Fantastic food & very memorable! So we knew we had to go to Safta. 

Menu is very similar to Shaya. We ordered a bunch of stuffs & we enjoyed every single thing. That really doesn’t happen often. The food was perfectly balanced. Nothing felt heavy or overwhelming. That braised lamb shank fell off the bone w/ that creamy labneh & sweet pomegranate sauce. The charred cabbage was also phenomenal. Sweet & charred. Semifreddo was just the ending we hope for. Iced cold w/ strong coffee granita & rich chocolate. 

We came w/ really high expectations, & we were very happy at the end of the meal. If you’re visiting Denver, do not think twice, you need to eat at Safta!

Being close to nature is the main goal of this Den Being close to nature is the main goal of this Denver trip. We hiked, saw a couple lakes & mountains, & got attacked by tons of mosquitoes. We were exhausted from the high altitude, heat & hiking, but felt amazing!

1) Hallet Peak & Dream Lake at the Rocky Mountain
2) Selfie
3) We got attacked by mosquitoes. Whenever we posed for pictures, the mosquitoes immediately attacked. If you look closely, you can see a mosquito near Bryan’s face. 🦟

It’s Friyay! All I can think about is this bagel It’s Friyay! All I can think about is this bagel from @bagelandslice. Tried this a couple weeks ago. Bagels are not overly chewy, just perfect. Lox was good w/ the scallion cream cheese. We got there early enough that the line was not long. Going back soon! Btw, they also do pizzas too!
