This mildly sweetened Sparkling Pomegranate Coconut Mocktail is a refreshing party beverage. Along with being suitable for most of the diets it’s an impressive and a crowd pleaser drink.
With Christmas well spent now it’s about New Year parties to welcome 2017 in a grand way. When we think about parties, beverages top the list.
I am so excited to welcome the New Year in a grand way. I have planned a grand party with all my favorites. It’s funny that I have a mixed set of friends and many love mocktails including me.
Hence,I came up with a versatile beverage that can be enjoyed as a mocktail as well as a cocktail. Just add a shot of rum or tequila and get on the floor to dance unlimited until the clock strikes 12.00 and we scream HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

Rosemary! What an interesting earthy herb to add to the mix. That should contrast real nicely with the fruity pomegranate. I might even try rubbing the herb along the glass interior before pouring in the liquids and ice.
Gunjan says
I agree. I love adding herbs to my drinks.
