Pomegranate Sunrise Recipes

POMEGRANATE SUNRISE COCKTAIL

Steps:

• Fill 2 highball glasses 1/2 full with ice.
• Add 1 shot of vodka to each glass.
• Add 1/2 - 1 cup of orange juice to glass.
• Slowly pour the pomegranate juice on one side of the glass; getting as close to the side as possible.
• Add a slice of orange and pomegranate seeds to each glass.

POMEGRANATE SUNRISE MOCKTAIL

Steps:

• Put the lime juice and cardamom pod in the bottom of a cocktail shaker and crush the pod with the handle of a wooden spoon (if using ground cardamom, just mix together with the lime juice). Add the brewed tea, pomegranate molasses and a few ice cubes to the shaker and shake well for 15 seconds.
• Fill a tall glass with ice and strain in the tea mixture; top with club soda and garnish with a lime wheel.

TEQUILA SUNRISE

Steps:

• Fill a Collins or highball glass with ice. Add the tequila. Add enough orange juice to come almost to the top of the glass; the amount will vary depending on the size of the glass. Gently pour the pomegranate syrup into the glass and serve. Do not stir.
• For Syrup: Place the pomegranate juice, sugar and lemon juice in a 4-quart saucepan set over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has completely dissolved. Once the sugar has dissolved, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the mixture has reduced to 1 1/2 cups, approximately 50 minutes. It should be the consistency of syrup. Remove from the heat and allow to cool in the saucepan for 30 minutes. Transfer to a glass jar and allow to cool completely before covering and storing in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.
• For Molasses: Place the pomegranate juice, sugar and lemon juice in a 4-quart saucepan set over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has completely dissolved. Once the sugar has dissolved, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the mixture has reduced to 1 cup, approximately 70 minutes. It should be the consistency of thick syrup. Remove from the heat and allow to cool in the saucepan for 30 minutes. Transfer to a glass jar and allow to cool completely before covering and storing in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.
