POM Passione pomegranate and sambuca holiday cocktail drink recipe - photo property of The IntoxiocologistThe month of November comes packed full of super goodies. It’s Aviation Month, Good Nutrition Month and Peanut Butter Lover’s Month. We celebrate Thanksgiving, feel the nipping bite of fall and delight in the extra hour Daylight Savings Time gives us to snuggle in our beds after All Hallows Eve. November also has its more serious holiday; honoring men and women who have served in the military on Veterans Day. For the foodie and cocktail lover National Pomegranate Month stands out since it covers the bases of anti-oxidant rich, Vitamin C packed complex super fruit with amazing flavor profile – excellent for recipes galore!
 
In terms of cocktail use pomegranate has been worked into liqueur, base spirits and of course sampled in packaged juices. Each captures unique flavor from the pomegranate fruit. POM Wonderful brings 100% juice to the cocktail experience making an excellent base for luscious non-alcoholic Mocktail recipes or richly seductive cocktails. PAMA Liqueur captures the essence of the natural pomegranate’s complexity by balancing the sweet and tart together in a premium vodka based spirit that has been kissed with a hint of tequila. Van Gogh and Three Olives Pomegranate Vodkas each come to mind as spirits on the market with remarkable pomegranate flavor infusion. Van Gogh Vodka plays to the more complex, robust flavor while Three Olives profiles the fruit’s playful, fanciful spirit
 
The photo drink recipe slide show below highlights hot and cold cocktails with pomegranate juices from a variety of brands using an array of base spirits. PAMA Liqueur and pomegranate infused spirits have also been included for diversity and ease of cocktail creation. Pomegranate cocktails are an excellent inclusion to holiday gatherings for something more diverse rather than the usual cranberry, pumpkin or apple martini recipes.
