Servings: 1 drink
Calories: 197kcal
Ingredients
- 2 oz. pomegranate liqueur (such as Pama)
- 1-2 teaspoons honey simple syrup, to taste (see notes)
- 2-3 dashes Angostura bitters
- pomegranate arils for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the liqueur, honey simple syrup and bitters. Shake until the shaker is cold and the ingredients are sufficiently mixed, about 30 seconds. Pour into a rocks glass filled halfway with ice. Garnish with pomegranate arils, if desired.
Notes
For the honey simple syrup: gently warm 1/4 cup honey with 1/4 cup water over medium heat on the stove until honey dissolves. Let cool and store remaining syrup in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
To make a big batch: combine 24 oz. (3 cups) pomegranate liqueur, 1/4 cup of the honey syrup and 1 teaspoon of the bitters in a big pitcher and stir to blend. Taste to see if it needs more bitters. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days and stir again before serving. Pour over ice into old fashioned glasses.
