Pomegranate Patio Light

Pomegranate, rosemary, and lime make a crisp spritz with a deep fruit note and a herbal scent. The juice can feel a little drying, while lime adds a fresher tartness. Use only a small rosemary sprig at first, especially if you plan to linger over the glass. Stir the juices before topping up. The rosemary should add atmosphere to the pomegranate, rather than turning a red-fruit drink into something overwhelmingly piney.

Make it

1. Add any fruit, herbs, spices, or syrup to a glass and gently press to release flavor.

Benefits

Lime · a little vitamin C

Lime supplies some vitamin C for protecting cells from oxidative damage; pairing it with pomegranate and rosemary adds another layer to the flavor.

Make room for rosemary

Rosemary gives the pomegranate and lime a piney herbal note—an aromatic pairing to serve freshly mixed, while the bubbles are lively.
