Ingredients for Pomegranate Martini
- pomegranate juice – Sweet and sour juice. Both store-bought and freshly squeezed are great for this recipe.

- orange liqueur – Triple Sec, Cointreau or Grand Marnier, etc.
- lemon juice – Freshly squeezed lemon juice adds depth to this recipe.

guideline
Start by adding pomegranate juice, vodka, orange liqueur, and lemon juice to a cocktail shaker half filled with ice.
Shake for 10-15 seconds until completely cool.
Strain and pour into a martini glass (bonus points if you use a chilled glass).
Garnish with a lemon twist or a sprig of fresh rosemary.
Crafting Tips
- To chill your martini glass, simply place it in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. This will make it nice and frosty. Remove when ready to serve cocktail.
- If you wish, you can garnish your drink with fresh pomegranate seeds or pieces of pomegranate fruit.
- This recipe makes the perfect holiday drink because pomegranate juice has more pigment and makes its bright red color much more intense than cranberry juice (like Cosmopolitan), yet the taste is very similar. Garnishing with fresh rosemary sprigs adds holiday charm.
- If you don’t have lemon juice, you can use other citrus juice, such as lime juice, instead.
- To make a pitcher recipe, increase this recipe to serve 6. Serve in a pitcher with frozen cranberries to keep cold. Do not add ice to the pitcher.
- For a festive look, try using a sugar border.
