If you love juicy pomegranates, this cocktail is for you! Rosé sparkling wine, Triple Sec, and sparkling pomegranate juice create a peppy, sweet, elegant drink. I found my sparkling pomegranate juice at Trader Joe's, but if you can't find it, feel free to try this recipe with regular pomegranate juice.

Serves: 8
Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 (750-mL) bottle Rosé sparkling wine
  • 3/4 cup Triple Sec
  • 3 cups sparkling pomegranate juice
  • Pomegranate arils for serving
Instructions
  1. Make the simple syrup: Stir the water and sugar together in a heavy saucepan over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved. Chill until cold.
  2. Make the pomegranate sparkler: Pour the Rosé into a large pitcher. Add the simple syrup (I use all of the recipe above and think it's perfect, but if you like a dry cocktail, you might use only a portion.) Add the sparkling pomegranate juice and Triple Sec. Pour into glasses, garnish with pomegranate arils, and enjoy!
