After the classic mojito, the black one and the strawberry one, here’s a new version: the pomegranate mojito. Needless to say, I found it delicious. Needless to say, it is very easy to make at home. A drink that suits the cold season and that you could also propose during the holiday period. Have I convinced you? I hope so.

Preparation of the pomegranate mojito
Remove the pomegranate seeds: to do it best, without crushing them, follow the instructions by clicking HERE.
Remove all the light membranes and transfer them to the blender glass and blend them.
Then strain the juice well and set it aside. You will need about 2.4 oz of juice.
Put the sugar, mint leaves, and lime pieces in a short and wide glass and crush them with a pestle.
Fill the glass with crushed ice. Whole ice cubes are not suitable. A very homemade method I use is to put them in a clean cloth and break them with a meat mallet. You will get coarse crumbs and slightly larger pieces.
At this point, add the rum, tonic water, and pomegranate juice.
Stir and immediately serve the pomegranate mojito decorated with mint and a few seeds. Enjoy! Paola
