How to make this non alcoholic spritzer
This pomegranate non alcoholic spritzer is very easy to mix up. It’s simply a combination of soda water, non alcoholic apple cider, pomegranate juice, and fresh squeezed lime juice. Simply combine them all and garnish with lime wedges and pomegranate seeds!
To make the soda water, we use this SodaStream. Can I rave about using a SodaStream for a second? Alex and I were in a habit of drinking a specifically trendy carbonated water product all the time. Instead of buying so many cans of that, we had the idea to get a SodaStream. It’s also a great healthy beverage substitute for soda pop.
Alex used to be a huge pop drinker, and while he hasn’t had the stuff in years, he still enjoys beverages that are more exciting than plain old water. Soda water with some lemon and/or lime wedges is a perfect soda substitute (or a sub for that magical trendy carbonated water), and we drink it often. It’s also fun to experiment with carbonating other beverages, like wine — it makes instant champagne!
To make soda water: Our SodaStream!

November 6, 2014 at 9:19 amI’m currently planning our Thanksgiving feast using recipes from some of my favorite folks and this just certainly made the drink list (assuming we can get apple cider and pomegranate juice in Iceland). Although I’m gonna have to go with non-optional gin. ;)

November 6, 2014 at 10:26 amI’m loving your new gift shop, I just want everything! Also, I can see myself sipping a few of these while preparing Thanksgiving dinner : )

November 6, 2014 at 11:21 amGrowing up in a Persian family, I was raised eating pomegranate and it’s one of my favorite winter foods. I’m always looking for new ideas to use it, and can’t wait to try this recipe out!

November 6, 2014 at 11:26 amThis looks lovely! I have a question though, what exactly is your apple cider? Here in the UK, apple cider is alcoholic. Is it some kind of sparkling apple juice for you guys?
Sonja
November 6, 2014 at 11:32 amSasha, thanks for this comment! I didn’t realize apple cider was alcoholic in the UK! In the US, “apple cider” is non-alcoholic (but not sparkling), and “hard cider” is alcoholic. Is this something accessible to you in the UK? I’ll update the recipe too!
Sasha
November 6, 2014 at 11:53 amOh that’s really interesting! Yes and in some cases it is very alcoholic! I guess that we would just use apple juice then, or sparkling apple juice and omit the soda. Unless your apple cider is not the same as apple juice?
Alex
November 6, 2014 at 12:36 pmI think any apple juice would be delicious; American apple cider is basically unfiltered apple juice.

November 7, 2014 at 8:46 amHi Sasha, I’ve found that the closest equivalent to apple cider in the UK is the Copella cloudy apple juice – it seems to be pretty much the same thing.
Sonja
November 7, 2014 at 11:32 amKathryn, thanks for the response on this! This is very helpful!
Sasha
November 10, 2014 at 2:24 pmThanks for this Kathryn! I will definitely be trying out the recipe then :)

November 6, 2014 at 2:05 pmYum! This looks so refreshing :) Love your glasses too!
Chris
November 6, 2014 at 7:22 pmThis looks delicious, but I am a little surprised to see your liquid measurements are not in ounces or cups, but rather are metric. Why the departure?
Alex
November 6, 2014 at 9:20 pmHaha! I was wondering if anyone would notice :-) After figuring out the 3-1-2 proportion that I liked, mL offered the easiest way to up it to 4 servings. Sorry if its confusing!
Kathryn
November 7, 2014 at 8:47 amThis drink sounds right up my street. Although I love a good cocktail, I’m quite partial to a non-alcoholic version too and definitely enjoy drinking something that’s a bit more special than water, particularly around the holidays.
