I’m a big fan of easy drink recipes, and this Pomegranate Spritzer is one of the best. It’s light, fizzy, and full of flavor. It’s the perfect non-alcoholic spritzer for any occasion.

Pomegranate Spritzer Recipe
Pomegranate Spritzer is a refreshing, lightly fizzy drink made with pomegranate juice and sparkling water or club soda. It has a rounded flavor that is not overly sweet.
You can experiment with various combinations of juices, wines, and sparkling water to create your own signature spritzer, from a classic wine spritzer, a fruity mocktail version, or a unique concoction of your own.
You can enjoy this drink with summer dishes like potato salad and light no-cook meals. This spritzer is also a natural fit for holiday menus, pairing wonderfully with sweet potatoes, pumpkin dishes, and cranberry recipes. It works equally well as a cocktail with appetizers and entrees at any social gathering.
The drink’s tartness enhances peppery arugula salads, walnuts, Brussels sprouts, and mackerel escabeche. Its versatility makes it a fantastic pairing for a wide range of flavors, from savory to sweet.

Variations

- Rosemary Pomegranate Gin Spritzer
- Use gin instead of white wine for a botanical note.
- Use a fresh rosemary sprig instead of mint.
- Spiced Orange Pomegranate Spritzer
- Add 1 oz of brandy or Cointreau to the mix and a splash of fresh orange juice.
- Use an orange peel twist instead of mint.
