Cherry Pomegranate Sparkler
⏱️ Prep Time: 10 minutes • 🍳 Cook Time: 15 minutes
As summer approaches, I’ve been looking for more non-alcoholic drinks that feel refreshing and a little special. When it comes to mocktails, I prefer something that isn’t overly sweet, otherwise, it can end up tasting more like juice than a cocktail.
Cherry pomegranate juice and lime sparkling water served over ice with a fresh lemon garnish.
Pomegranate juice has always been one of my favorites, and I almost always have a bottle in the fridge. My go-to flavor is cherry pomegranate, which has the perfect balance of tart and sweet.
The cherry pomegranate juice gives this drink a rich, fruity flavor, while the Lime LaCroix keeps it light, crisp, and bubbly. Served over plenty of ice in a wine glass, it feels a little more elevated than your everyday drink.
One of my favorite things about this mocktail is how simple it is. There are no syrups, mixers, or fancy ingredients required. The juice provides just enough natural sweetness, while the sparkling water adds a refreshing fizz that balances everything out.
It’s also a lighter option than drinking a full glass of pomegranate juice, but it still delivers plenty of flavor. Refreshing, antioxidant-rich, and beautiful in the glass, this is an easy mocktail I find myself making again and again throughout the summer.
