Pomegranates are hard-shelled fruits that, when cracked open, reveal a juicy geode of ruby-red arils. The arils can be chewed and eaten as-is, or pressed to produce a tart, fragrant juice that’s perfect for balancing spirits and sweeteners in cocktails.
If you don’t have access to the fresh fruits, bottled pomegranate juice is a fine alternative – just be sure it’s actually 100% pure pomegranate juice.
