Valentine’s Day is almost here! So to help celebrate, here’s a super cocktail recipe that’s even got some healthy stuff in it . . . pomegranate juice AND pomegranate liquor! I made this pretty PomaTini for myself and made one on the rocks for hubby. It’s a nice sipper to enjoy while relaxing in front of a crackling fire in February!
Cheers, Salute’, and Ching Ching!
These cocktails would also be perfect for Christmas too!
This is just so easy too!
So go grab your cocktail shaker and . . .
Enjoy this Ruby Red Pomatini !
