Are you on the search for a new holiday cocktail?  This sparkling pomegranate cocktail will not disappoint! It’s made with a homemade pomegranate ginger syrup and sparklling wine. The pomegranate ginger adds acidity and just a touch of sweetness to the dry wine. I like to throw in a few pomegranate seeds for a fun burst of flavor and texture.

As with any sparkling wine cocktail, I recommend using something on the dryer side – prosecco, champagne, or cava. Choose a moderately priced sparkling wine that tastes good on its own, but you won’t feel bad mixing it with other flavors. 

All in all, these Sparkling Pomegranate Cocktails are easy drinking cocktails, perfect to share with friends and family.

Ingredients for sparkling pomegranate cocktails

How to make Sparkling Pomegranate Cocktails

  1. Make Pomegranate Ginger Syrup. A mixture of sugar, pomegranate juice, and fresh ginger is combined in a saucepan and reduced until it thickens slightly. Make sure to cool the syrup in the refrigerator before assembling your cocktails. The syrup can be made a couple of days ahead and stored in the fridge until ready to use.
  2. Make sugared rim. Add the sugar to a plate, run a lemon wedge around the rim of the glass and dip the glass in the sugar.
  3. Make the cocktail! Place 2 tablespoons of the pomegranate syrup into a glass. Top with chilled sparkling wine!
  4. Serve your pomegranate cocktails. You can add a few pomegranate seeds or candied ginger pieces if you wish.
