Pomegranate juice, fresh mint, lime & sparkling water
The Mojito is Cuba's national drink, born in Havana in the 1940s. The pomegranate version strips the rum and adds the tart, rich depth of pomegranate juice — making it both more complex and more visually dramatic than the original. It has become a US Thanksgiving and Christmas table staple.
Fresh pomegranate juice from half a pomegranate pressed on a citrus juicer is the best version. For a frozen Pomegranate Mojito, blend all ingredients with crushed ice for a slushy texture. The pomegranate seeds as a garnish are both visual and textural — they burst as you drink.
