Total Time:  5 minutes

Try this Pomegroni Cocktail recipe from the cookbook Sababa: Fresh, Sunny Flavors From My Israeli Kitchen.

Sababa cookbook As I juiced my millionth pomegranate of the winter using the hand-cranked press that sits on our counter, it occurred to me: Who needs Campari when you’ve got fresh pomegranate juice? The fruit’s tannic, sweet-bitter taste stands in perfectly for Campari, especially with a shake or two of bitters to keep the drink firmly out of the sugary column. Of course, a blood orange slice makes positively everything look gorgeous and calls to mind yet another element of Campari, orange peels.

Ingredients
  • 6 oz. (3⁄4 cup) pomegranate juice
  • 1 1⁄2 oz. (3 tbsp) gin
  • 2 oz. (1⁄4 cup) sweet white vermouth or Lillet
  • Generous splash Angostura bitters
  • Blood orange or other orange wheels
Directions Yield:  Makes 2 cocktails
  1. In an ice-filled cocktail shaker, vigorously shake the pomegranate juice, vermouth, gin and bitters.
  2. Pour into two ice-filled rocks glasses and garnish with orange wheels. The recipe can be multiplied minus the ice and stored in a pitcher for up to a week and can be freshened with more bitters if needed.
