Bubbly mocktails aren’t only for the holiday season. These Sparkling Citrus Pomegranate Mocktails are the perfect drink for celebrating a special occasion - or just that it’s Friday!
Jump to:
Mocktails (What are mocktails?) are a great way to create delicious drinks for everyone to enjoy. Whether you’re making drinks for kids and teens, those limiting their alcohol intake, people who don’t drink alcohol, or looking to reduce your calorie intake - mocktails fit the occasion.
Citrus Pomegranate Mocktails are so much fun to serve because you can go all out with the garnish! Add big leaves of mint, slices of orange, lime wedges, or pomegranate arils.
Pomegranate arils are the little, red, pearl-like pieces inside a pomegranate that contain the pomegranate seeds. (Did you know they had a separate name?! I didn’t!) You can buy a whole pomegranate and separate out the arils yourself - do this with the fruit submerged in a bowl of cool water - or you can buy the arils already out of the pomegranate and neatly packaged.
What's in a Sparkling Pomegranate Mocktail
- Pomegranate juice - Choose 100% pomegranate juice, no blends.
- Orange - Always squeeze fresh orange juice for your drinks. It tastes so much better than anything you can buy already bottled.
- Lime - Fresh lime juice will give you the best flavor in this drink.
- Simple syrup - Easily made in the microwave with two ingredients, mix up your syrup ahead of time so it has time to chill before you make your drink.
- Ginger beer - Choose your favorite brand. Ginger ale can be used instead of ginger beer if you want less of a ginger flavor. Don’t like ginger at all? Use lemon-lime soda instead.
- Club soda or sparkling water - Choose your favorite brand of unflavored sparkling water or club soda.

I made this for a friend who had a cold and she loved it. The citrus juices and no alcohol helped her feel no guilt about drinking it.
