These Pomegranate Cocktails with Vodka are hands down, my favorite Holiday Cocktail! They are so fizzy, flavorful and pull me right into the Christmas season. Plus, they're only 4 ingredients!
Oh my Christmas season! I love the Holidays. We just passed Thanksgiving and it is totally game time. Am I right fellow moms? Hold onto your hats until January 1. This time of year is just absolutely nuts, but I love it at the same time.
Like my Apple Cider Bourbon Cocktail, this Pomegranate Cocktail screams the holiday season! It is bubbly and delicious. I have been drinking it the last few nights and absolutely love this one. It might be my favorite cocktail ever!
Pomegranate Vodka Cocktails are really similar to a Moscow Mule with the ginger beer, unless you decide to use La Croix instead. Either way, this beverage is so yummy.

Recipe FAQs:
Vodka is my alcohol of choice here, but you could try Gin, tequila or rum.
Of course! Most of my cocktails get served to my kids without alcohol in them in mocktail form.

Nice, but how to make with less sugar ?? thank you
Tara Smithson says
Hi Mirko,
You could cut the pomegranate juice in half and use a sparkling mineral water with no sugar, instead of ginger beer. It will have a little less flavor, but will still be yummy!
