Ingredients
– 8 cups lemon-lime flavored carbonated drink (substitute with sparkling wine for the alcoholic version)
– 1 ½ cups pomegranate juice
– ¼ cup granulated sugar
– 2 large oranges, thinly sliced (preferably the middle slices)
– ½ cup pomegranate arils
– 4 cups ice (optional)
– Fresh mint for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1- Gather all ingredients and chill the pomegranate juice and carbonated drink for optimal refreshment, just like the summary suggests to keep everything cold.
2- In a large bowl or pitcher, mix the 8 cups of lemon-lime flavored carbonated drink with 1 ½ cups pomegranate juice and ¼ cup granulated sugar, adding the sugar slowly to prevent bubbling over.
3- Stir until the sugar dissolves, then add the 2 large oranges thinly sliced and ½ cup pomegranate arils for a burst of color and flavor.
4- Just before serving, add the 4 cups of ice if desired to keep it chilled without watering it down too fast.
5- Add fresh mint for garnish at the last minute to keep it from overwhelming the taste, then stir lightly and serve immediately.
