Ingredients
Scale
For 1 Pomegranate Mocktail
- 2 oz. 100% pomegranate juice
- 1 oz. freshly squeezed orange juice or high-quality orange juice
- 1/2 oz. fresh lime juice
- 2 oz. sparkling water, club soda, or seltzer
- Ice, for serving
Optional Garnishes
- Pomegranate arils
- Lime slices

For a Pitcher (1 Quart)
- 12 oz. pomegranate juice
- 6 oz. orange juice
- 3 oz. fresh lime juice
- 12 oz. sparkling water or seltzer
For a Punch Bowl (1 Gallon)
- 6 cups pomegranate juice
- 3 cups orange juice
- 1 1/2 cups lime juice
- 6 cups sparkling water or seltzer
Instructions
- Prepare the citrus juices. Freshly squeeze the orange and lime juices to ensure bright, fresh flavors in your mocktail. If fresh orange juice is not available, use a high-quality orange juice for best results.
- Mix the juice base. In a serving glass, pitcher, or punch bowl, combine the specified amounts of pomegranate juice, orange juice, and lime juice depending on your serving size—single serving, pitcher, or punch bowl.
- Add sparkling water. Immediately before serving, stir in the sparkling water, club soda, or seltzer gently to maintain the fizz. Use the appropriate amount for your serving size.
- Serve over ice. Fill serving glasses with ice cubes to keep the mocktail chilled and pour the mixed beverage over the ice.
- Garnish and enjoy. Add optional garnishes such as pomegranate arils, lime or orange slices, frozen cranberries, fresh mint, or rosemary sprigs for a festive and aromatic touch.
Notes
- Use fresh juices whenever possible for the best flavor and brightness.
- Sparkling water can be substituted with club soda or seltzer based on preference.
- Adjust citrus quantities slightly to taste for more sweetness or tartness.
- For a non-fizzy version, omit the sparkling water and serve chilled.
- This mocktail is naturally vegan, gluten-free, and low calorie.
