Ingredients
Scale
For the Rim
- Sea salt (for rim, optional)
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. Blend on high speed until you achieve a slushy, smooth consistency free of large ice chunks. If the mixture is too icy, add a few extra ice cubes and blend again until perfect.
- Serve: Pour the frozen mocktail into the prepared glass. Optionally, garnish with a lime wedge for an added touch. Enjoy this refreshing and cooling pomegranate margarita mocktail immediately.
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.
