1 cup soda water or tonic water, chilled (240 ml)

Instructions

Mix the juices

In a glass jug or pitcher, combine the pomegranate juice and lime juice. Stir gently to blend.
Tip: Roll the lime firmly on the counter before cutting to get the most juice. Fresh juice is brighter and less bitter than bottled.

A glass pitcher filled with dark red juice, garnished with a lime slice. Around it are fresh mint leaves, lime halves, pomegranate seeds, a gold spoon, and a bowl of pomegranate seeds—perfect for a Mocktail with Pomegranate Juice Recipe.

Add the bubbles

Slowly pour in the chilled soda water or tonic water. Stir carefully so you don’t lose too much fizz.
Tip: For a sweeter version, swap in lemon-lime soda.

A clear liquid is being poured from a small glass bottle into a plastic cup filled with a dark red beverage, ice, and a slice of lime on the rim—a refreshing Mocktail with Pomegranate Juice Recipe in the making.

Keep it cold

Add plenty of ice cubes to the jug. Larger cubes melt more slowly, which keeps the drink chilled without watering it down.
Party trick: Freeze pomegranate seeds in ice cubes ahead of time. They look beautiful and won’t sink straight to the bottom.

Garnish and serve

Scatter pomegranate seeds and float lime slices in the jug. Add mint leaves if you like for an extra pop of freshness.
Pour into glasses, making sure each serving has a little of the fruit garnish.
Tip: Lightly clap mint leaves between your palms before adding. It releases the oils and makes them more aromatic.

Make It Ahead

You can mix the pomegranate juice and lime juice a few hours before serving. Keep it in the fridge, then add soda water and ice just before your guests arrive so the drink stays fizzy.

Scaling for a Party

This recipe serves 2, but it’s easy to scale up:

For 6 people, triple the ingredients (3 cups pomegranate juice, 3 cups soda water, etc.).
For 12 people, multiply by 6 and use a large pitcher or punch bowl.
Tip: If you’re serving in a big batch, keep extra soda water on the side and top up glasses individually so every pour stays bubbly.
