As the seasons transition, cocktails such as this pomegranate beverage that is infused with the rich winter fruit and springs of fresh rosemary creatively blend the flavors of the season. Though the drink is chilled, it offers a refreshing mix of fruits and herb flavors in a sophisticated cocktail dubbed the Rosemary Pomegranate Martini.
The Rosemary Pomegranate Martini is a fruity take on the quintessential martini made with vodka and olive juice. This recipe transitions the drink for the winter by altering the base flavors with produce that is readily available. The drink begins with pomegranate juice muddled with honey and rosemary. The mixture is then poured over ice with vodka and topped with a spring of rosemary and several pomegranate seeds. The mixture of the fruit and minty rosemary replicates the cool temperatures of the season.
