This light and refreshing gin cocktail is sweetened with pomegranate juice and spicy ginger beer. The ultimate crowd-pleasing cocktail recipe for entertaining!
With the holiday season right around the corner, I am always on the search for crowd-pleasing cocktail recipes.
Moscow mules are very popular and for good reason: they’re perfectly balanced with just the right amount of sweetness, spiciness, tanginess and effervescence. Since pomegranate is in season in the winter, I decided to add it to the cocktail for a pop of tartness and beautiful color.
To make it easy and reduce stress this holiday season, I love using Meijer home delivery to cut down on my shopping time. In addition to all the fresh groceries, I can also get accessories/homeware delivered to my door including this beautiful copper muddler.
Another bonus of Meijer home delivery? In some states, Meijer will even deliver alcohol to consumers over 21. You can stock your bar with just a click of a button!
For effervescence and a slight spicy kick, I add both ginger beer and club soda to the cocktail along with a splash of pomegranate juice.
The end result is a perfectly balanced cocktail that will have your guests begging for the recipe.
No forks required.

I had to improvise a bit with some ingredients as we don’t sell everything in the Netherlands, but it was delicious and I think the real version as described here would be even more delicious!
