Found the clipping in the Paleozic layer littered on my desk-time to get it recorded for posterity! Comes from a magazine, don't ask me which one, though! Anyway make the syrup first, then get right to the wine cooler. Lovely color, brightens up ANY occasion; festive for the holidays, lovely for a bridal or new mom shower. SYRUP makes enough for 20 drinks PREP & COOK time is for making the syrup. Ingredients:
1 (16 ounce) bottle pomegranate juice |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 cup white wine (dry) |
1 tablespoon orange liqueur (cointreau) |
ice cube |
lemon wedge, garnish |
Directions:
1. SIMPLE SYRUP:.
2. Stir together syrup ingredients in a small saucepan; boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally; reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally; altogether about 35 minutes until reduced to about 1 1/4 cups syrup.
3. SPARKLER:.
4. Pour syrup into tall glass, add wine and liqueur; stir, add ice cubes and lemon wedge if desired.
5. NON-ALCOHOLIC VERSIONS:.
6. Instead of wine, use apple juice or apple cider for a totally different kick. A splash of 7-Up (white) soda will cut the wine nicely, too.
