Cocktail History

The Pomegranate Gin Fizz is a Christmas cocktail that was created by Craft Gin Club and was first published in their book Gin O’Clock: A Year of Ginspiration. Perfect for holiday gatherings, the recipe combines the bright, botanical notes of London Dry Gin with the sweet-tart richness of homemade grenadine. Effervescent bubbles from sparkling wine then add a celebratory touch, while dancing pomegranate seeds provide a visually stunning and seasonal garnish.

Cocktail Ingredients

To make this cocktail, you’ll need the following ingredients:

Sparkling Wine: This is a type of wine made with white or red grapes and infused with carbon dioxide. I used Champagne Moutard Père & Fils Brut Prestige.

London Dry Gin: This is a type of gin made with juniper berries, botanicals, and alcohol that has been infused with flavor through redistillation without artificial ingredients or colors. I used Broker’s Premium London Dry Gin.

Grenadine: This is a sweetener made with pomegranate juice and white sugar. I used this stovetop recipe.

Pomegranate Seeds: This is the small pink seed, also known as the aril, of a pomegranate.

Demerara Sugar Cube: This is a block of pure sugar cane that has only been partially refined so it retains molasses flavor.

Bartending Tools

To make this cocktail, you’ll need the following bar tools:

Bar Mat: This is a rubber or silicone mat that’s placed on the bar surface to catch spills, provide grip for glasses and tools, and keep the workspace clean and organized. I used the Highball & Chaser 18×12 Bar Mat.

Jigger: This is a small, double-sided measuring tool that’s used to accurately portion spirits and mixers, typically with one side measuring 1 oz and the other 1.5 or 2 oz. I used the Japanese jigger from the A Bar Above 14-Piece Silver Bar Set.

Bar Spoon: This is a long-handled spoon with a twisted shaft that’s used for stirring, layering, and reaching the bottom of tall cocktail glasses. I used the Barfly Stainless Steel Teardrop Bar Spoon.

Coupe Glass: This is a stemmed, shallow, wide-bowled glass that’s designed to enhance aroma and presentation. I used the Libbey Capone Coupe Glass.

Tasting Notes

This cocktail has the following flavor profile:

Appearance: Bright red-pink color

• Aroma: Wine and pomegranate

• Taste: Bubbly sparkling wine flavor accented with strong yet sweet berry

• Finish: Botanicals and more tangy berry

Kendall’s Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Kendall’s Take: “This is a simple cocktail with a pretty straightforward taste, mostly just of slightly sweetened sparkling wine. I love bubbly cocktails for that reason; they’re easy to sip. The pomegranate seeds dancing in the drink were a nice touch that would definitely impress your guests at a holiday party, and because the Pomegranate Gin Fizz has an ounce of Broker’s gin perfectly masked by the bubbly, they’ll also wonder why they’re so tipsy after a couple.”
