The Pomegranate Gin and Tonic – Two Ways!

That’s right! I’ll give you two ways to enjoy the Pomegranate Gin and Tonic. Options are good, you know! And sometimes, you want to go for color, and sometimes you want to go for layers.

This crazy easy cocktail is low on ingredients, and if you spend just a little extra time being careful, you can create the ombre effect. Or not. It’s an easy sipping G and T, and the pomegranate flavor is not super bold. Everything sort of melts together in a lovely way. It’s also not super sweet, so the gin can come through.

Some technique tips that took me several tries to figure out!

There were many attempts at creating these lovely layers, and it boils down to a few things.

• Don’t move the glass around as you are making the layers.

• Pour the pomegranate juice (or grenadine if you want a sweeter drink) first – then add your ice.

• Very slowly – and I mean slowly – add your gin, then your tonic. I was able to get some nice layers after I used the ice cubes in the middle of the glass as a sort of sled for the gin and tonic to slip down.

Another way to make the Pomegranate Gin and Tonic.

Instead of fussing with layers and slow pours, you can use frozen pomegranate cubes to deliver the flavors. The silicone ice trays are easy to use and come in lots of shapes and sizes.

The ice will immediately turn your cocktail a gorgeous color, and of course, the flavors will be mingled quicker than the layered version of this drink.

If you want things to be sweeter, make your own grenadine from pomegranate juice and use it to make other delightful drinks like the Monkey Gland.
