Pomegranate Vodka Martini

Pomegranate Vodka Martini is a fizzy, festive and fruity drink perfect for the holidays! A homemade grenadine syrup with a touch of mandarin.

Simple, elegant and festive, this Pomegranate Vodka Martini drink will make you the most popular host this holiday season. Made with a fast and easy homemade grenadine syrup containing fresh pomegranate grains, mandarin and sugar. When you finish up the martini, just before you ask for another one, you’ll get a few pomegranate grains bites to finish up the drink on a fruity note.

Freezing Vodka

Vodka is one of those alcohol bottles you should leave in the freezer! Do not worry, it won’t freeze! It’s actually gonna give your class a nice frost effect and will keep your drink extra cold!

Sparkling water

To make it slightly lighter, I’ve added some sparkling water, which makes the drink more “festive” with bubbles but also lighter. Because nobody likes too many drunk family members at your Christmas party. One is enough! And for the ‘one’: of course it’s totally optional.

Let’s make this light and fuzzy holiday drink!
