Give your tastebuds a treat with this light and refreshing pomegranate spritzer which gives you not only a great tasting cocktail, but also the added health benefits of pomegranate, one of the antioxidant-rich super-foods. Pomegranates are a wonderful source of anthocyanins which help to keep the arteries clear and stabilize your blood sugar level.
You can omit the white wine if you wish to have an alcohol-free pomegranate spritzer but the wine does give this recipe a certain added oomph! This recipe calls for pomegranate syrup instead of pomegranate juice, and oranges or lemons for an attractive garnish.
