Method
Cocktail Base
Measure and combine
Add 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.5 oz simple syrup, and 0.5 oz pomegranate juice into a cocktail shaker.
Add ice and shake
Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup), secure the lid, and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until well chilled and slightly diluted.
Optional lengthen
If you prefer a longer, slightly lighter drink, add 1.0 oz cold water or soda water to the shaker before or after shaking. If using soda water, gently stir once instead of shaking to keep carbonation.
Serve & Garnish
Strain
Double-strain the cocktail into a chilled rocks glass filled with fresh ice (or into a coupe if you omitted the ice).
Float pomegranate juice
Using the back of a bar spoon, slowly pour 0.25 oz pomegranate juice over the top of the drink so it floats and creates a layered 'bloom' effect.
Garnish with lemon wheel
Garnish with 1 lemon wheel on the rim or floated on top. Serve immediately.
