Pomegranate, Gin, and Champagne Cocktail Recipe
What are the holidays without a theme drink? And this bright, tangy one is so good!
It’s a variation of one of my all-time favorite cocktails, this gin and grapefruit cocktail made with elderflower liqueur and prosecco simple syrup. But this version is made with gin, pomegranate and citrus juice, and a champagne simple syrup.
It’s not too sweet and so so yummy! And it’s super festive looking too.
Cocktail Ingredients:
So let’s get drinking. To make this pomegranate, gin, and champagne cocktail, all you need these simple ingredients.
Gin: I used a high-end gin with floral flavors in this cocktail. Brands I love include Grey Whale, Rock Rose, and You and Yours. Henrick’s would also work well.
Pomegranate Juice and Arils (the seeds): I used unsweetened pomegranate juice in this recipe — plus a few arils (seeds) for garnish.
Lemons and Lime Juice: I use a bit of both in this recipe to give the drink a bright, tangy taste.
Elderflower Liqueur: I love the fresh, floral taste of this liqueur made from elderflowers blossoms. I used St.Germain in this drink.
Dry Sparkling Wine: For this recipe, I infuse the simple syrup with champagne. You can use champagne, crémant, prosecco, or any other dry sparkling wine.
Pomogrante Gin Cocktail Recipe Tips:
Also, here are a few tips for making and serving this pomegranate, gin, and champagne cocktail.
- Don’t Love Gin? If you don’t love gin, you can sub in your favorite vodka.
- Serving Glasses: You can serve your drink in a coupe glass or glass of your choice. My star coupe glasses are the Crate and Barrel Stardust Coupe glasses, which are currently out of stock. But you can try these.
- Citrus Garnish: Garnish the glass with a twist of lemon or lime. Need help getting those perfect twists? Try a channel knife like this one.
- Round Ice Cubes: I have my sweet husband to thank for these gorgeous clear sphere ice cubes. He makes them using this tray.

Notes
To Make the Champagne Simple Syrup: Take equal parts champagne and sugar (I used 1 cup champagne and 1 cup sugar) and add to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and let it simmer until all the sugar is dissolved and the liquid has started to thicken, about 3-5 minutes. The syrup can be refrigerated in a glass jar for up to 1 month. If you need to store it longer, it can also be frozen.
