Description

This mocktail is perfect for the holiday season. The frothy texture and festive flavors of pomegranate and pineapple make it feel like a special treat, without the alcohol. It’s a wonderful way to feel festive and enjoy the celebration with everyone, whether you're drinking or just celebrating in style!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup pomegranate juice
  • 1 cup pineapple juice (or orange juice as an alternative)
  • ½ pasteurized egg white (for froth)
  • Ice (optional, but I recommend using ice floaters)
  • Club soda or sparkling water (for a fizzy touch)
  • Mini ice floaters (optional, for serving in mini cups)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Drink:: In a mason jar (or cocktail shaker), combine 1 cup pomegranate juice and 1 cup pineapple juice. Stir to mix.
  2. Prep: Add ½ of a pasteurized egg white. This will create a frothy texture when shaken (you can skip this if it’s not to your liking, but it adds a creamy, bubbly touch).
  3. Prep: Optional: Add ice at this point, but if you're using ice floaters, you can skip it.
  4. Shake It Up:: Seal the mason jar (or cocktail shaker) and shake vigorously until the mixture becomes frothy and well-blended.
  5. Assemble the Mocktail:: Pour the frothy juice mixture into your glass. If you want a fizzy finish, top it off with a splash of club soda or sparkling water.
  6. Serve:: For added fun, prepare mini ice floaters in advance and drop them into the drink. These floaters make for an elegant touch and help keep the drink cool.
