Pomegranate French 75 Mocktail

For this Pomegranate French 75 Mocktail recipe by The Fresh Market, alcoholic components are involved once again. But you can omit or replace gin with a non-alcoholic gin alternative and replace sparkling wine with a non-alcoholic one or sparkling water.

Ingredients

• 1 pomegranate
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 2 tbsp water
• 1 oz non-alcoholic gin alternative
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 3 oz non-alcoholic wine or sparkling water
• lemon peel and pomegranate arils for garnish

Instructions

1. Trim the pomegranate’s top by about one inch. Cut through the entire outer layer and the white membrane as you vertically score the pomegranate’s sides into four halves. Use the scored lines to guide the pomegranate into four halves while holding it over a sizable dish. Discard the membrane and outer skin after removing the arils from the husk and placing them in the basin.
2. For garnish, set aside about one tbsp of the arils.
3. Pomegranate seeds, sugar, and water should all be combined in a blender. Blend on medium-low speed for approximately 10 seconds (reserving 1 tbsp for garnish). You should avoid grinding the inner seed of the arils; therefore, avoid blending at high speed or for an extended period.
4. Discard solids after pouring through a fine wire mesh strainer.
5. Combine the non-alcoholic gin alternative, lemon juice, and 1 tbsp of the blended pomegranate syrup in a co*cktail shaker.
6. Add ice, and shake vigorously until thoroughly cold.
7. Add non-alcoholic wine or sparkling water on top after straining into a champagne flute.
8. Add a lemon twist and a few of the pomegranate seeds you saved for garnish.
