Prepare the Pomegranate:
Start by cleaning the pomegranate. Cut off the crown and then gently score the fruit. Rotate the pomegranate in your hands to loosen the pulp. Once the sections are visible, cut along the white parts and blend the whole fruit until smooth. -
Extract the Juice:
Transfer the blended pomegranate into a fine mesh sieve. Press to extract the juice, then pour it into a clean bowl. -
Add Lime and Ginger:
Squeeze the juice from two fresh limes and add it to the pomegranate juice. Next, grate the fresh ginger root and stir it into the mix for an extra kick. -
Prepare the Glasses:
Now, it’s time to prep the mugs or glasses. Cut 4 thin slices of ginger and 4 slices of lime. Take the remaining half of the lime and rub the flesh along the rim of your glass. Afterward, dip the rim into sugar to coat it. -
Assemble the Drink:
Fill each glass halfway with ice. For each serving, pour in 45 grams of vodka followed by 80 grams of ginger beer. Stir well to mix the flavors. -
Final Touches:
Add a spoonful of pomegranate seeds to each glass, then garnish with a sprig of rosemary, a slice of lime, and a slice of ginger. -
