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. I love the tartness of pomegranate and it’s such a beautiful shade of crimson. Have you tried this sparkling pomegranate punch? So good and easy, too!

If you’re not crazy about pomegranate, try this Orange Mojito or an Orange Gin and Tonic with Cinnamon. I think you’ll love them!

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!

Celebrate the holiday season with more festive beverages:

 

  • Cherry martini with elderflower and lime
  • Apple cider mule (fall Moscow Mule)
  • Ginger cinnamon apple cider mocktail
  • Hot white Russian
  • Orange hot chocolate recipe
  • Red wine and cherry spritzer
  • Stout hot chocolate

    What a beautiful drink! I don’t usually have alcohol in my drinks, but I think the virgin version will taste just as good as this looks! I find that I prefer pomegranate drinks over the arils themselves :)

    Okay, so if your basil plant goes crazy next year, you can totally make mojitos with it. I mean, don’t call them mojitos because people will go nuts. But, it’s so good! Also, this drink looks like perfection! SUCH gorgeous photos too! Pinned!
