Method

Cocktail

1

Prepare glass

Chill a coupe or martini glass by placing it in the freezer for a few minutes or filling it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail.

2

Combine ingredients

In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz Absolut Grapefruit Vodka, 0.75 oz yuzu juice, 1 oz pomegranate juice, 0.25 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz simple syrup, 0.25 oz orange liqueur (if using), and 2 dashes of bitters.

3

Add ice and shake

Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is very cold to the touch and well-chilled.

4

Strain

Discard the ice or water from the chilled glass. Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe or martini glass using a Hawthorne and fine mesh strainer to remove ice shards and any pulp or seeds.

5

Garnish

Drop 1 tsp of pomegranate seeds into the drink for a jewel-like appearance. Finish with a grapefruit or lime wheel on the rim or floated on top.

6

Serve

Serve immediately while cold. Optionally, offer a straw for slower sipping or serve neat.
