- Stir in the lime/lemon juice and white rum.
- Add ice and top with club soda.
- Garnish with mint leaves and some pomegranate seeds. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
Notes
- Serve the pomegranate mojito as soon as it's made. You don't want the ice melting and diluting the drink.
- You can mix in some pomegranate juice if you want a stronger pomegranate flavor.
- Please use fresh lime/lemon juice and fresh mint for the best flavor!
- Remember not to muddle the mint leaves too much..just enough to release their lovely flavor.
- You can easily substitute sugar with honey in this recipe for a lovely floral note or use a simple syrup.
- If you don't have a muddler, like me, a spoon will do the trick just as well.
