Ingredients

Scale
  • Pomegranate Syrup
  • 1 1/2 cups pomegranate seeds
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup sugar
  • Bourbon Pomegranate Punch
  • 1 1/2 cups bourbon
  • 1 1/2 cups pure pomegranate juice (I used Pom Wonderful)
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 1 large lime)
  • 2 bottles (750 ml each) Prosecco or dry sparkling white wine, chilled
  • Pomegranate seeds, lime slices and fresh mint leaves, if desired for garnish

Instructions

  1. To Make the Pomegranate Syrup: Place pomegranate seeds, water and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until pomegranate seeds are falling apart, about 20 minutes. Strain through a fine mesh strainer into a medium bowl and press seeds with the back of a spoon to get all of the juice out of the seeds. Cool syrup to room temperature, about 1 hour. Discard the seeds. Pomegranate syrup can be used immediately or refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Makes about 1 1/4 cups.
  2. In a pitcher, punch bowl or beverage dispenser, mix cooled pomegranate syrup, bourbon, pomegranate juice and lime juice. Stir in a handful of pomegranate seeds, a couple slices of lime and some mint leaves.
  3. To Serve: Fill ice filled glasses halfway with bourbon pomegranate mixture and top with Prosecco. Garnish with pomegranate seeds, lime slices and mint leaves.
