INGREDIENTS: Serves 1
1 cup ice
1/2 pomegranate juice
1 oz of simple syrup *
2 oz. Vodka
1 oz- Triple Sec
splash of lemon juice (optional)
Garnish: Infused pomegranate seeds (optional)


NOTES:

To coat the rim of martini glass, wet the rim with lemon juice and dip the rim in a bowl of sugar.


*To make 1 oz of simple syrup, dissolve 1 tablespoon of sugar into 1 tablespoon of super hot water.


To infuse pomegranate seeds soak them for 12-24 hours in vodka. (in the refrigerator). I pop them into the freezer before serving to get them really chilled.


1 oz= 2 Tablespoons
