Pomegranate Ginger Fizz


You'll need to make a batch of ginger/pomegranate syrup but that's no big effort and you can use it diluted with water and ice for a refreshing drink alone.

You Will Need:

3 tablespoons Ginger/pomegranate syrup (directions below)
Juice of 3 Cara Cara oranges
1/4 cup ginger ale
Ice
Garnish of fruit on skewers

To Make Syrup:

1 pomegranate
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
generous slice ginger (peeled)
3 blueberries for colour


In a small pan, bring the sugar and water to a boil over high heat whisking constantly. Lower heat to medium and add fruit. Cook, mashing occasionally with a potato masher until syrup begins to thicken and coat the back of a spoon. Strain through a fine mesh sieve. If syrup is not as thick as you'd like it can be returned to pan and reduced further-otherwise, pour into a jar and cool before setting in the fridge. Keeps about 1 week.
