This pomegranate mojito is bright and beautiful, with a tangy minty flavor! Starring mint and bright red pomegranate juice, it makes a big pitcher that’s perfect for entertaining. This is one of our favorite mojito variations!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup loosely packed mint leaves, plus more for the garnish
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup lime juice (about 8 limes), plus 1 lime for the garnish
  • 2 cups white rum
  • 2 cups 100% pomegranate juice
  • 1/2 cup soda water or club soda

Instructions

  1. Add the sugar, water and mint to a small saucepan and heat over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and stir until all sugar is dissolved. Turn off the heat and allow it to sit for at least 30 minutes. Then strain it into a large pitcher. (Makes 1 cup simple syrup; make up to 1 week in advance.)
  2. Add the lime juice and rum to the pitcher. Add the extra mint leaves and the extra lime, cut into rounds. Fill the pitcher with 4 handfuls of ice. Gently stir in soda water just before serving.
  3. Single serving variation: In a glass, mix 1 oz lime juice, 1 oz mint syrup, 2 oz white rum, 2 oz pomegranate juice, and a splash of club soda.
