    Pomegranate Mojito Mocktail Ingredients

    Pomegranate mojito mocktail ingredients labeled.
    • pomegranate seeds - Pomegranates are well known for their high vitamin C and antioxidant content. Although they are often enjoyed in abundance during their winter harvest season, we can be reaping their many benefits all year long. In this recipe, I use the seeds in both the ice cubes and the syrup.
    • sugar - White granulated sugar is what I use.
    • fresh mint leaves - Pick fresh, vibrant leaves without dark spots or wilting.
    • limes - For freshly squeezed lime juice and a garnish.
    • club soda - Or sparkling water.

    *Check recipe card for ingredient amounts.

    Pre-Seeded Pomegranates or Whole Fruit

    You can either use pre-seeded pomegranates for this recipe or purchase the whole fruit and remove them yourself if you don't mind the extra step.

    Pre-seeded pomegranates. You can look for pomegranate seeds in several areas of the grocery store. They are often found in containers near the produce section with other prepared fruits.

    You can also find the seeds (called arils) that have already been removed and frozen, which will work fine for this recipe. It’s a great option when you can’t find fresh. I have a tutorial for freezing cherries and pomegranates can be frozen the same way.

    Whole pomegranates. Depending on the season, you should be able to find fresh whole fruits in the main produce area. If you are selecting a whole fruit, be sure to check for bruising as ripe pomegranates are very delicate.

    How to Make it

    Chef's Note: If making the syrup ahead of time, keep the syrup covered and refrigerated. A squeeze bottle or condiment bottle work well.

    Joss' Top Tip

    Make sure to protect your clothing when working with pomegranate seeds because the juice can easily spray and stain.

    Recipe FAQs

    What is a pomegranate mojito mocktail?

    It's a twist on the classic mojito mocktail with the addition of pomegranate seeds and pomegranate syrup.

    How do you store the leftover syrup?

    If you happen to have some pomegranate syrup left over after preparing your mocktails, save it! That tasty concentrated pomegranate flavor can be added to a variety of other recipes, including iced tea, lemonade, salad dressings, ice cream, meat glazes and marinades. Just be sure to keep it refrigerated for up to two weeks.

    How long can you freeze the pomegranate ice cubes for?

    They should last in the freezer for up to 1 year. It helps if your ice cube tray has a cover.
