Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All:

Can I make this a mocktail?

Absolutely! Skip the rum and add sparkling water or a flavored soda like lemon-lime for a delicious non-alcoholic version.

Can I batch this cocktail for a party?

Yes! Multiply the ingredients by the number of servings you want and mix everything in a pitcher. Add ice and mint just before serving.

Can I use bottled pomegranate juice?

Fresh is always best for flavor, but high-quality bottled pomegranate juice works just fine for convenience.

How do I muddle mint properly?

Gently press mint leaves with sugar and lime juice using a muddler or the back of a spoon—don’t crush too hard or it may turn bitter.

What kind of rum should I use?

A light or white rum works best to keep the drink fresh and crisp. Avoid dark rum for this recipe.
