Show-stopper Large punch bowl
Now, the pomegranate juice and sparkling water are clearly the stars of the show here. They come together to give this punch a unique depth of flavor and that heady fizz we are going crazy about. Of course, the love-it-or-hate-it cranberry juice lends that hint of tartness that balances out the sweetness of pomegranate. And, if you find it a tad too tart, you���ve got sugar to come to the rescue!
You could replace the cranberry juice with any other tart juice, say, pineapple! Just go with your taste!
How To Make Sparkling Pomegranate Punch
- First, grab your dazzling punch bowl. Pour in the pomegranate juice, cranberry juice, sparkling water, and the lemon juice.
- Mix it well. Now, taste it. If you wish it a little sweeter, add sugar gradually while stirring until it suits your taste.
- Add ice cubes and serve this delightful punch in fancy glasses to your guests.
Tips For The Best Results
- The punch is best when served immediately after preparing. The fizz of the sparkling water doesn���t last very long.
- If you are preparing it in advance, just mix the juices. Add sparkling water only just before serving.
Storage Tips
- If there are leftovers, store only the juice mix in the refrigerator. Again, add sparkling water while serving next time.
