This Pomegranate Gimlets Recipe Is From Modern Comfort Food Cookbook by Ina Garten

Ingredients Needed:

  • 360 ml / 1½ cups gin (such as Tanqueray)
  • 240 ml / 1 cup pomegranate juice (such as Pom Wonderful)
  • 240 ml / 1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (from 6-8 limes)
  • 120 ml / ½ cup simple syrup
  • Pomegranate seeds, for garnish
  • 6 lime slices, for garnish

How To Make Pomegranate Gimlets?

  1. Chill the glasses: Place six martini glasses in the freezer at least one hour before serving.
  2. Mix the cocktail: Combine the gin, pomegranate juice, lime juice, and simple syrup in a large pitcher.
  3. Shake the cocktail: Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice, then pour in the drink mixture until the shaker is three-quarters full. Shake vigorously for 15 seconds to properly mix and chill the drink.
  4. Serve and garnish: Pour the shaken mixture into the chilled martini glasses. Garnish each with a teaspoon of pomegranate seeds and a slice of lime.
  5. Repeat and enjoy: Continue shaking and serving the remaining drink mixture. Serve immediately, ice cold.

Recipe Tips:

  • Use fresh lime juice: Freshly squeezed lime juice gives the drink the best flavor. Bottled lime juice won’t taste as good.
  • Chill the glasses: Make sure to freeze your glasses for at least an hour to keep the cocktail cold longer.
  • Shake long enough: Shaking for the full 15 seconds is key to getting the right texture and temperature for the drink.
  • Adjust sweetness: Taste the mixture before serving. If it’s too tart, add a bit more simple syrup to balance the flavors.
  • Garnish right before serving: Add the pomegranate seeds and lime slices just before serving for the freshest look and taste.

How To Store Leftovers?

  • Refrigerate: First, let any leftover Pomegranate Gimlets sit at room temperature for a few minutes, but ideally, this cocktail is best served fresh. If needed, store the drink mixture in the fridge for up to 1 day in an airtight container.
