Tonight, my aim was to figure out how to make the best pomegranate juice-based cocktail. It took three tries but this last one is definitely the best one. Here’s the recipe, and anyone who comes up with a name for it, since “pompom” and “pomtini” are taken already… will get ummm… something nice. Like a thatcanadiangirl moo sticker or something.

So here it is…

• 1 1/2 measures pomegranate juice (not the concentrated stuff, just the drink)
• 1 measure vodka
• 1/2 measure Cointreau orange liqueur
• sprinkle of caster sugar

Shake it all with lots of ice in a cocktail shaker, and pour into a nice cocktail glass. Enjoy!
