The Simple Syrup

• The key to making the perfect Pomegranate Paloma is to make a simple syrup. Simple syrup is made with equal parts sugar and water, combined and boiled until the sugar is completely dissolved. To add a bit of complexity to this classic cocktail, we recommend adding pomegranate juice to the simple syrup. This adds an extra level of flavor to the drink and can take it from ordinary to extraordinary.
• To make the pomegranate simple syrup, combine 1 cup of water with 1 cup of sugar in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir constantly until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture has thickened slightly. Then, add 3⁄4 cup of freshly squeezed pomegranate juice and bring to a boil for 1 minute. Reduce the heat and let simmer for about 10 minutes until the syrup has reduced and thickened. Strain the syrup through a sieve and allow it to cool before using.

With the pomegranate simple syrup ready to go, you’re now ready to mix up the perfect Pomegranate Paloma
