Notes
Be sure you are choosing pure pomegranate juice for this recipe and not a pomegranate cocktail which often contains apple or other berries.
Choose a good quality vodka that you enjoy sipping. It does not need to be top shelf, but you should choose one you like on its own.
For a variation you can use 1.5 ounces regular vodka and 1.5 ounces lemon vodka.
To make this a sparkling cocktail, pour the mixed drink into a tall glass and top with sparkling water or club soda.
