The Story Behind The Pomegranate Mojito
I hate when great cocktails get limited to certain times of year. It gives me great pleasure to take an out-of-season drink and tweak the recipe a little to bring something new to the tradition.
The Mojito is a classic that certainly holds its own as a crowd-pleaser but, depending where you live, they tend to be served only a few months out of every year. With the simple addition of pomegranate juice, plus a beautiful seasonal garnish, this classic, summery rum cocktail suddenly seems perfect for holiday parties and winter sipping.
