Pomegranate Vodka Punch

I whipped this cocktail together with some ingredients I already had on hand so…ta-da!  My own recipe!  At least as much as a cocktail can be your own recipe.  With cranberry and vodka in mind, I mixed together pomegranate juice, cake-flavored vodka and a splash of diet lemon-lime soda to come up with this cocktail that I’m calling Pomegranate Vodka Punch.  Because pomegranate juice can be pretty tart, the soda adds a much needed sweetness that makes this cocktail go down a little too easy.  If you try this, let me know what you think!

Pomegranate Vodka Punch (makes 2 servings):

  • 2 oz. cake-flavored vodka (like Pinnacle) or regular vodka
  • 3 oz. pomegranate juice
  • Splash of lemon-lime soda (diet or regular)

Mix together juice and vodka in a shaker or bowl.  Pour into a glass with ice and top off with a splash or two of lemon-lime soda.

South Beach Tea

We’ve had a couple of days of over 80°F this week so I’m taking a break from fall and breaking out a summery cocktail, South Beach Tea.  This is a simple, refreshing cocktail and one you will probably like if you have an affinity for mango-iced tea.  Store-bought iced tea is mixed with mango-flavored vodka and lemon-lime soda.  Mix the ingredients together and serve with a twist of lemon if you feel so inclined.  Tasty!
