Ingredients

Sea salt (for rim, optional)
3 oz fresh lime juice (approximately 3 limes)
3 oz pomegranate juice
4 oz sparkling water
1 Tbsp agave nectar
3 cups ice

Instructions

Step 1: If salting the rim of your glass, hold the glass upside down and run a lime wedge around the rim. While holding the glass upside down, gently dip the rim into a shallow plate or bowl filled with sea salt. Flip the glass over and set aside to allow the salt to set.
Step 2: Place the fresh lime juice, pomegranate juice, sparkling water, agave nectar, and ice into a blender. Blend on high until the mixture becomes slushy and smooth, with no icy chunks remaining. If needed, add a few more ice cubes and blend again to reach the desired consistency.
Step 3: Pour the frozen mocktail into your prepared glass. Garnish with a lime wedge if desired, and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Tips & Variations

For a sweeter drink, adjust the agave nectar to taste or substitute with honey or simple syrup.
Try adding fresh mint leaves to the blender for a refreshing twist.
If you prefer less fizz, reduce the amount of sparkling water or use still water.
Use frozen pomegranate seeds as ice cubes to add flavor and a decorative touch.

Storage

This mocktail is best enjoyed fresh due to its icy texture. If you need to store leftovers, keep them in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Re-blend or stir well before serving again, but note that the frozen consistency may be lost over time.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I use bottled lime juice instead of fresh?

Fresh lime juice is recommended for the best bright and tangy flavor, but bottled juice can be used in a pinch. Just be sure it’s 100% lime juice without added sugars or preservatives.

How can I make this mocktail less sweet?

You can reduce or omit the agave nectar depending on your taste preference. Adding more lime juice or sparkling water can also balance the sweetness.

Mocktail Ingredients

3 oz fresh lime juice (approx. 3 limes)
3 oz pomegranate juice
4 oz sparkling water
1 Tbsp agave nectar
3 cups ice

Instructions

Prepare the Glass Rim: Hold the glass upside down and run a lime wedge around the rim to moisten it. While keeping the glass upside down, gently dip the rim into a shallow plate or bowl filled with sea salt. Flip the glass upright and set it aside to allow the salt to adhere.
Blend Ingredients: Add the fresh lime juice, pomegranate juice, sparkling water, agave nectar, and 3 cups of ice into a blender.

Notes

If you prefer a less sweet drink, adjust or omit the agave nectar to taste.
For a stronger salt rim, repeat the dipping process or use coarse sea salt.
The sparkling water can be substituted with club soda or a lemon-lime soda for a sweeter variation.
Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor; bottled lime juice may alter the taste.
This mocktail can be made in advance by blending ice separately and mixing juices just before serving to maintain optimal texture.
