Equipment

Directions

<ol class="no-list-style"><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 1</h4>Fill your highball glass with crushed ice to about 3/4 full. Crushed ice not only chills the drink faster but also creates that signature mule frost on the outside of the glass.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 2</h4>Pour the pomegranate juice, lime juice, and ginger syrup over the ice. The acidity of the lime helps to balance the sweetness of the pomegranate while enhancing its natural tartness.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 3</h4>Gently stir the mixture with a bar spoon to combine the flavors – about 5-6 rotations is perfect. Overstirring can cause the ginger beer to lose carbonation too quickly.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 4</h4>Slowly pour the ginger beer down the side of the glass to preserve carbonation. You should see the beautiful crimson color develop as the ingredients blend.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 5</h4>Lightly stir once more, just enough to integrate the ginger beer without losing the bubbles. The drink should maintain a vibrant fizz with a ruby red to deep burgundy color.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 6</h4>Garnish with a lime wheel placed on the rim of the glass, then add the rosemary sprig and sprinkle with pomegranate seeds. The rosemary releases aromatic oils that complement the spicy ginger notes when you bring the glass to your lips.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 7</h4>Serve immediately while the drink is perfectly chilled and carbonation is at its peak. The initial sip should deliver a bright pomegranate flavor followed by the warming spice of ginger.</li></ol>

Can I use frozen pomegranate seeds instead of fresh ones for this mocktail?

Yes, frozen pomegranate seeds work perfectly as both garnish and flavour enhancers. They also act as natural ice cubes, keeping your mocktail cold without diluting it too quickly. Thaw slightly before using to release their vibrant colour and juices.

What's the best ginger beer to use for a spicy non-alcoholic mule?

For the perfect spicy kick, choose a premium ginger beer with actual ginger content like Fever-Tree, Bundaberg, or Fentimans. These brands offer stronger ginger flavour and balanced sweetness compared to ginger ale, which is essential for an authentic mule experience.

How can I adjust the sweetness level in this pomegranate mocktail?

Adjust sweetness by varying the pomegranate juice (tart varieties vs sweet commercial brands), try different ginger beers (some are sweeter than others), or add a splash of simple syrup if too tart. For less sweetness, increase lime juice or dilute with a splash of soda water.
