How To Make This Pomegranate Lime Spritzer Cocktail
It is so easy to put this pomegranate cocktail together. Simply, add all the ingredients to a tall glass, stir it up and ENJOY!
Possible Variations
You can customize this simple cocktail in so many ways! Here are a few ideas…
- Make It A Mocktail: This spritzer can also be turned into a refreshing mocktail by simply leaving the vodka out.
- Switch The Juice: You can substitute the pomegranate juice for cranberry juice. A fun kombucha flavor would also be delicious.
- Make It Sweeter: This drink is not very sweet. For more sweetness you could use a higher ratio of pomegranate juice to sparkling water or reduce the amount of lime juice.
What To Do With Extra Pomegranate Arils
Besides just eating them, I highly recommend making this Pomegranate + Pistachio Dark Chocolate Bark (yum!) or this Winter Holiday Salad.

So pretty for the holidays. I like that this cocktail is not too sweet. I don’t like overly sweet drinks.
I feel the same way – I like a refreshing drink and will enjoy dessert as my “sweet” treat.
