Pomegranate-Lime Gin and Tonic

DSC00043

Ok, so I’ve never really been a drink aficionado. I’m more of a throw some pineapple juice in with – fill in the blank – kind of girl. So, needless to say, I’ve never really had a favorite drink, until recently. Sometime last year, I had a gin and tonic for the first time and loved it. So if you ask me now what my favorite drink is, that would be it.

Now in general, I’m way more into sweets than I am into drinks, which is why I hadn’t thought about posting a drink recipe until now. But I thought, why not. So I came up with a simple twist on a classic cocktail. Lets get to it.

Ingredients

  • 2 oz part  Gin (my fav is Bombay Sapphire)
  • 4 oz Tonic Water
  • 2 oz  100% pomegranate juice
  • juice from 1/2 a lime
  • 1 tbs simple syrup

Directions

  1. Combine gin, tonic water, pomegranate limeade, and juice from half of a lime into a glass.
  2. Garnish with a wedge of lime
  3. Enjoy
