Ruby Ginger Ritual

Pomegranate gives this a deep red-fruit flavor and a slightly drying finish, while fresh ginger adds a warmer note underneath. Sparkling water makes the combination easier to sip slowly. Use thin ginger pieces or a fine grate depending on how much bite you enjoy. The juice is already assertive, so taste before increasing either ingredient. A small amount of ginger can be enough to make this feel quite different from plain pomegranate fizz.

Ingredients

• 5 oz Sparkling water
• 2 oz Pomegranate juice
• 2 slice Fresh ginger

Make it

1. Add any fruit, herbs, spices, or syrup to a glass and gently press to release flavor.
2. Add the still liquids and ice. Stir to combine.
3. Pour in the sparkling ingredient slowly and stir once. Serve immediately.
