Pomegranate Ginger Thyme Recipe

Cocktail Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Ginger-Infused Base

   In a small saucepan, combine the grated ginger and 1 cup of pomegranate juice. Heat over medium heat until just simmering. Remove from heat and let steep for 10 minutes to extract the ginger flavor.

2. 2

   Strain the Base

   After steeping, strain the ginger-infused pomegranate juice through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl or measuring cup, discarding the ginger solids. You should have about 1.5 cups of ginger-infused pomegranate juice.

3. 3

   Mix the Cocktail

   In a large cocktail shaker, combine the ginger-infused pomegranate juice, remaining 0.5 cup of pomegranate juice, thyme leaves, gin (or mezcal or Pelacañas), simple syrup, and fresh lemon juice. Fill the shaker with ice cubes.

4. 4

   Shake Well

   Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.

5. 5

   Strain and Serve

   Strain the cocktail mixture into glasses filled with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top.

6. 6

   Garnish

   Garnish each glass with a sprig of thyme and a sprinkle of pomegranate seeds for a vibrant finish.
