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?
- Chill the glasses: Place six martini glasses in the freezer at least one hour before serving.
- Mix the cocktail: Combine the gin, pomegranate juice, lime juice, and simple syrup in a large pitcher.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
