Description

A seasonal, striking drink that combines the deep ruby color of pomegranate with warming ginger and aromatic rosemary. The drink has a layered structure: a thick, sweet-and-sour pomegranate-ginger syrup, fresh pomegranate juice, and a bubbly base — sparkling water or optionally prosecco, making it perfect for holiday gatherings, winter parties, or romantic dinners. It looks very appealing thanks to the shiny pomegranate seeds, a sprig of rosemary, and the contrast of red with clear bubbles. Flavor profile: sweet-and-sour, with a spicy hint of ginger and a herbal aftertaste of rosemary; visually captivating with its intense color and decoration.

Preparation steps

Pomegranate and Ginger Syrup

1

Measure 200 ml of pomegranate juice, 200 ml of water, and 150 g of sugar. Peel the ginger: use a teaspoon or a small knife to remove the thin skin, then grate the ginger on a fine grater (you will get the pulp and juice). Place the grated ginger along with the sugar and water into a small saucepan. Add 2 sprigs of rosemary (about 2-3 g each) and set over low heat.

Ingredients: Fresh ginger, White sugar, Water (for syrup), Fresh rosemary, Pomegranate juice
Use a small saucepan with a diameter of 14–16 cm. A peeler is not necessary — the skin of the ginger can be easily removed with a teaspoon. If you don't have a grater — chop the ginger very finely. A common mistake: too high a temperature - the syrup should not boil vigorously.
2

Heat over very low heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the sugar is completely dissolved (about 3–5 minutes). Then slightly increase the heat and bring to a gentle boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 8–10 minutes. The syrup should thicken slightly and form a thin, sticky layer when a spoon is dipped in — this is a sign that it is ready.

Ingredients: Fresh ginger, White sugar, Water (for syrup)
Use a wooden spoon or silicone spatula. Don't leave the pot for more than a minute — the syrup can burn. If the syrup seems too thick after cooling, dilute it with a little water.
3

After cooking, remove the saucepan from the heat. Let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Strain the syrup through a fine sieve into a bowl, pressing the ginger pulp with a spoon to extract as much flavor as possible. Squeeze gently to avoid letting any bits through. Leave to cool completely (about 20 minutes).

Ingredients: Fresh ginger, Fresh rosemary
Use a fine sieve or cheesecloth placed over a sieve. A common mistake: pressing the ginger puree too hard – it may let bitter fibers through; press just enough to extract the juice.

Preparation of ingredients

4

If you are using whole pomegranates instead of ready-made seeds, divide the fruit into quarters and pick the seeds into a bowl. Measure the remaining pomegranate juice (about 400 ml should be left) and place it in a jug. Add lemon juice (60 ml) to the jug and gently stir to combine the sour notes.

Ingredients: Pestki granatu, Pomegranate juice, Lemon juice
Use a glass jug with a capacity of at least 1 liter. To extract the seeds from the pomegranate without splattering, press the fruit from the bottom and hit the skin with a wooden spoon — the seeds will fall out easily.

Drink assembly

5

In four tall glasses, place equal amounts of crushed ice (about 100 g per glass). Add 1 tablespoon (about 12 g) of pomegranate-ginger syrup to the bottom of each glass — use a spoon or a small shot glass for precise dosing.

Ingredients: Crushed ice, Fresh ginger
The best are Collins glasses or tall glasses for long drinks. If you don't have crushed ice, crush regular ice cubes in a cloth bag or in a pulse blender (with short pulses).
6

To the pitcher with pomegranate juice, add the cooled syrup and gently stir to combine the ingredients. Pour the mixture evenly into glasses: about 150 ml of the mixture per glass. Then, for each glass, add chilled sparkling water (about 150 ml) or, if you prefer the alcoholic version, replace the sparkling water with prosecco (about 150 ml). After pouring, mix the drink very gently with a bar spoon from the bottom up — so as not to lose too many bubbles.

Ingredients: Pomegranate juice, Sparkling water
Use a measuring cup or a measuring glass for precision. Do not mix vigorously — you will lose the fizz. A common mistake: pouring prosecco without chilling it – always chill prosecco before serving.

Decoration and serving

7

Add 1 tablespoon (about 20 g) of pomegranate seeds to each glass on top, place a sprig of rosemary (1–2 g) on the side as a decoration, and optionally, gently grate the zest of a bit of lemon over the drink to release the aromatic oils. Serve immediately, so that the ice and bubbles are active.

Ingredients: Pestki granatu, Fresh rosemary, Lemon juice
For decoration, use a bar tweezers or a teaspoon to precisely arrange the seeds. Do not leave the drink with ice out of the fridge for too long — it will dilute and lose its visual effect.

Variations and tips

8

Non-alcoholic version: serve with sparkling water. Alcoholic version: instead of sparkling water, use prosecco (replace 150 ml per glass). If you want a sweeter drink, add an additional 1 teaspoon of syrup to each glass. You can also add a bit of orange juice for a milder, fruitier profile.

Ingredients: Prosecco (optional), Pomegranate juice
If you are using prosecco, remember that the drink will become lighter and more ephemeral — serve immediately. Additionally, you can add orange juice (optional) for a change of flavor.

Fun Fact

💡

The pomegranate has been valued since ancient times for its symbolism of fertility and life; its intense color and seeds have inspired many drinks and desserts in the cuisines of the Middle East and the Mediterranean region.

Tips

🍽️ Serving

Serve in tall, transparent glasses to showcase the color and seeds. Chill the glasses for 10 minutes in the refrigerator before pouring. Include a small spoon for stirring with each drink and an extra bowl of pomegranate seeds on the table for guests to add more.

🥡 Storage

Store the syrup in a tightly sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. It is best to prepare the drink just before serving — diluted juice with ice loses freshness and should be consumed within 1–2 hours. Unused pomegranate juice can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
