What’s better than a fun holiday cocktail? Not a whole lot, if I do say so myself! As you all know, I had a hard time saying goodbye to summer this year. (Time just goes SO fast!) My drink of the summer (meaning I drank it maybe 4 times total) was a mojito. I decided to take my summer cocktail love into holiday territory with this fun pomegranate mojito.

Side note: The only reason the mojito was my drink of the summer, besides being completely delicious, was because my mint plant was out of control this year. Hopefully next year I can get my basil to do as well as my mint. My rosemary, sage, and thyme are buried by leaves right but they’re still huge. I’m hoping they hang around long enough to season my turkey.

Anyways, back to this festive mojito. The colors are perfect for Christmas but the flavors are great for both Christmas and Thanksgiving. I won’t be mad if you drink it during the summer, either. If you’re not crazy about pomegranate, try this orange mojito. I think you’ll love that one too!

About this pomegranate mojito

The drink is the perfect blend of sweet, tangy, and it’s 100% refreshing thanks to the fresh mint. To sweeten this pomegranate mojito, I use Agave In The Raw®. The great thing about using agave is that you don’t have to mess with making a simple syrup. Not that simple syrup is hard to make, but I’m always looking for shortcuts. The other great thing about Agave In The Raw is that it’s 25% sweeter than sugar so you don’t even need to use very much. It’s organic, gluten-free, and has a low glycemic index. So….cheers!
