In search of a festive drink that won’t leave you fuzzy? Try this Whole30 Pom-Cran Mocktail! This tantalizing concoction takes only five minutes from prep to glass and serves one, making it an ideal choice for a quick, fancy-feeling refreshment.
The process is as delightful as the drink itself. Begin by muddling fresh pomegranate and cranberries to unlock a burst of bright flavors. Then, combine pom-cran, orange, and apple juice with ice in a shaker or jar with a lid. A vigorous shake later, and you’re ready to strain this delightful mixture into a glass filled with ice cubes. The crowning glory is the cherry sparkling water, which adds a fizzy dimension to the mocktail. And don’t forget the orange zest! It’s not just a garnish but an essential ingredient that adds an aromatic finish, elevating the mocktail from ordinary to extraordinary. (Visit our Instagram post here to see it in action!)
This Whole30 Pom-Cran Mocktail is a perfect treat for any occasion, whether hosting a party or enjoying a quiet evening!
