Pomegranate Cosmopolitan

In 2020, I got very heavily into 2 things: craft cocktails at home, and rewatching Sex and the City. 3 years later, I’m over here making my own orgeat and listening to Every Outfit on Sex and the City. Some things never change.

As an over-the-top pomegranate stan, the only thing that can improve the classic cosmopolitan, to me, is to substitute the cranberry juice for the smoother, juicier pomegranate. This cocktail is perfect to throw together for a self-care night or batch on a night when you invite 3 of your closest friends over to wear ridiculous outfits and make outdated observations about relationships.
