In December, I won the Foodie BlogRoll POM Wonderful giveaway. I was oh so excited when my package arrived in the mail. The package included POM pomegranate juice, POMx iced coffee, a few POMx bars, a POM Wonderful notepad and pen. I wanted to create a cocktail with my new box of goodies. As you know I love Cuban food and adapted a Varadero recipe from Celebrate Cuban by the Three Guys from Miami. This recipe will remind you of a grown-up version of pomegranate lemonade. It is fabulous! Thank you to the Foodie BlogRoll and to POM Wonderful. I am enjoying the products and will probably post another recipe soon.

POM Varadero Cocktail
Ingredients:
2 oz fresh lemon juice
2 oz simple syrup
Crushed ice
3 oz light rum
Lemon-lime soda or soda water
1 oz POM pomegranate juice
Fresh pineapple wedge
Method:
- Blend the lemon juice and simple syrup in an old fashioned glass.
- Add the ice and rum.
- Fill the glass to the top with lemon-lime soda or soda water
- Gently add the POM pomegranate juice so that it floats on the top of the drink.
- Garnish with the pineapple wedge.
Cheers!
