Ideal for all ages and occasions, this pomegranate fizz drink is a delightful blend of pomegranate juice, orange juice, lime juice, and club soda, sweetened by a touch of grenadine.

I love to elevate this virgin drink with pretty garnishes of fresh pomegranate arils, lime slices, and mint sprigs making it as festive as it is delicious.

Be sure to serve it in pretty cocktail glasses with a sugared rim.

Hint: Add the club soda right before serving so that your mocktail has lots of bubbly fizz!

Substitutions

• Club Soda - Swap club soda with sparkling water, tonic water, ginger ale or ginger beer for a slightly different flavor profile.
• Grenadine - A splash of cranberry juice or raspberry syrup can replace the grenadine.
• Grenadine - You can use a simple syrup or a flavored simple syrup in place of the grenadine
• Orange Juice - Blood orange juice in place of orange juice can add a unique twist.
• Orange Juice - I love the extra fresh flavor and texture that freshly squeezed orange juice adds to this mocktail but you can use store-bought orange juice instead
• Pomegranate Juice - Make a cranberry mocktail by replacing the pomegranate juice with cranberry juice
• Lime Juice - Freshly squeezed lime juice is always best but store-bought bottled lime juice can replace the fresh squeezed
• Lime Slices - You can garnish with orange slices instead of lime slices or use a combination of both
• Fresh Mint - A sprig of rosemary is a seasonal garnish that can replace fresh mint

Make a pomegranate cocktail

You can always offer an alcohol version for those who prefer a cocktail. Simply provide a bottle of your alcohol of choice alongside the mocktail for people to add if they choose to. Here are some suggestions:

• Pomegranate Vodka Cocktail – Add vodka to the juice mixture before adding the club soda
• Pomegranate Gin Fizz – Add one jigger of gin per serving
• Pomegranate Bourbon Cocktail – Add a splash of Bourbon before adding the club soda
• Pomegranate Rum Drink - The addition of white rum or dark rum will make a delicious pomegranate cocktail
• Pomegranate Wine Cocktail - Red wine will add a delicious flavor

Make Ahead Directions

• I do not recommend adding the club soda if you are preparing this recipe ahead.
• Instead, prepare the base of the mocktail, the pomegranate juice, orange juice, lime juice, and grenadine, up to two days in advance and store it in the refrigerator in a sealed container.
• Add the ice and club soda just before serving.
• Garnish and enjoy!

Storage

• Store any leftover juice base in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• Do not pre-mix with the club soda because it will lose its carbonation.
• Add the club soda and garnishes just before serving.
