Today, I am sharing one of my favorite Fall cocktail recipes. It uses apple cider, which is plentiful at all the roadside stands and farmers’ markets this time of year. It seems like we always have Apple Cider on hand through the holidays, and because the pomegranate juice adds a nice tang, it works great for a Thanksgiving dinner cocktail. Let’s make an Apple Cider Pomegranate Spritz!

Let’s pull these ingredients together:

• Cocktail Shaker
• 3 oz vodka
• 1/2 cup pomegranate juice
• 1/4 cup apple cider
• 2 tbsp fresh squeezed lime juice
• 1/3 cup club soda
• Ice cubes
• Fresh rosemary sprigs -these add a lovely balance to the drink.
• Pomegranate seeds, for garnish

Putting the Cocktail Together:

• Add ice to a cocktail shaker.
• Squeeze your lime juice into the shaker
• Pour in Vodka, Pomegranate juice, and Apple cider
• Shake the mixture vigorously until well-chilled.
• Strain the drink into two glasses filled with fresh ice.
• Top each glass with a splash of club soda.
• Add a Spring of Fresh Rosemary and stir.
• Garnish with pomegranate seeds, if desired.

Enjoy! I love a pretty cocktail that is easy to pull together. This is actually a pretty versatile cocktail. I like to serve this minus the club soda, which makes it more of a “punch” for Christmas.

Variations and Substitutions:

You can make your Apple Cider Pomegranate Spritzer “spicy” by adding:

• 1/2 inch fresh ginger, sliced
• 2 sticks of cinnamon
• Rind from 1/2 an orange

Substitutions:

These are easy swaps if you are working with what you have on hand.

• Swap Cranberry juice for Pomegranate juice. Garnish with cranberries.
• Instead of Club Soda, use Sparkling water
• La Criox in Cranberry or Lime Flavors in place of the club soda.
