To Make Ginger Pomegranate Mocktails For a Crowd (8 Servings)

  • Start With Ice. Add ice to a large pitcher or a punch bowl. (At least 10-12 cups capacity!)
  • Combine. Pour in mint simple syrup, lime juice, pomegranate juice, and ginger beer. Gently stir a few times to combine (be gentle and slow so you don’t make it go flat)
  • Garnish with lime slices, cranberries, a fresh mint sprig, and more. Happy holidays!

Notes

  • How to Make Mint Simple Syrup. Combine 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water in a saucepan. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, then turn off the heat and add 1 cup fresh mint leaves. Steep the mint for at least 30 minutes up to 2 hours, then cool to room temperature. Strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve and store in a glass jar. Mint syrup will keep several weeks in the fridge and can be made in advance.
  • Can I Use Ginger Ale Instead of Ginger Beer? Technically yes, though it'll change the flavor profile of the drink. Ginger ale is less spicy and much sweeter tasting, so the drink won't be as ginger forward. This can be a good option for kids, but for grown-ups, I really do like ginger beer better. If needed, feel free to use low sugar or diet ginger beer to help moderate the sugar content!
  • Make Ahead Tips. If you're making this ginger pomegranate mocktail for a party, you can get a little bit ahead on your prep. Combine the mint simple syrup, lime juice, and pomegranate juice ahead of time, but WAIT to add the ginger beer until right before serving so it stays fizzy.
