Persephone's Pomegranate Punch
Persephone's Pomegranate Punch
In Greek mythology, the changing of seasons is attributed to the goddess Persephone, whose fruitful symbol is the many-seeded pomegranate.
Lest you think all we drink around here are our lovely Oregon wines, let me offer this as our house summer beverage of refreshment. Appropriate for young, old and teetotalers alike, it is pretty to look at, chilled and refreshing, good for you, and not-too-tart-not-too-sweet delicious to boot.
This beverage is fitting as our summer stand-by this year, too, as one of Persephone's other attributes is that of protector of marriage. Since our Big Day is right on the heels of summer, we'll sip of Persephone's fruit as we allow her to do her good work in our behalf.
Persephone's Pomegranate Punch
Persephone's Pomegranate PunchFill a large highball glass with ice. Squeeze in one lime wedge, and toss the squeezed wedge into the glass. Pour in 2 ounces 100% pure Pom Wonderful pomegranate juice. Shake in two dashes of Angostura bitters, and top the glass off with sparkling water. Garnish with a lime slice, if desired.
I love that pomegranate juice, and this cocktail looks like summer fun.
