This Pomegranate Vodka Gimlet is a bright, refreshing cocktail made with tart pomegranate juice, smooth vodka, and a splash of fresh lime.
Do you have a go-to cocktail when you go out? I usually pick a glass of wine or a beer, but I don’t often order elaborate cocktails. My dad, however, always reaches for a Vodka Gimlet, which inspired me to create a more playful version—enter the Pomegranate Vodka Gimlet.
These days my parents enjoy a vodka gimlet on Saturday nights. My mom prefers hers a bit sweeter with more sweetened lime juice, and I tend to agree—slightly sweet suits me. That’s partly why I like a Vodka Cranberry, too. I wanted a gimlet with a festive twist, so I swapped in pomegranate for both color and flavor.
The Pomegranate Vodka Gimlet is fruity, pretty, and fun—perfect for a casual evening or a small gathering.
