Did you try out last week’s Holiday Margarita? We have another cheerful cocktail to share with you. You may remember from past posts that Paloma’s are one of our favorite easy-to-fix cocktails for summer. We love the festive flair that pomegranates bring to cocktails during the holiday season. We combined these two favorites for a cheerful pom paloma drink.
There are many pomegranate paloma recipes on the internet, but we have developed our own which earned six thumbs up (Craig, Rhonda and Blind Piglet #1)! We make ours with blanco tequila (we used Espalon), pom juice, lime juice, cocktail ready agave nectar and Topo Chico with lime. Since this cocktail has 1.5 ounces of alcohol shared among too drinks, it won’t get you too tipsy under the mistletoe.

Pomegranates are always a great addition to any holiday cocktail. The fruity flavor gives a festive vibe without overpowering appetizers or desserts, the color is beautiful and looks great near any holiday spread, and its easy to garnish with rosemary or other holiday trinkets. In fact, the color of the Pomegranate Paloma is such a beautiful, rich, red that you might see this pop up again if a certain team makes it to the Super Bowl!
Try out this easy-to-fix and drink cocktail tonight. We’d love to hear what you think. More fun holiday ideas are on the way to you over the next few weeks. We are hoping that we can get all of them in before we reach Christmas. (Fingers crossed!) Good luck with your holiday decorating, shopping, and wrapping!
