Every year my friend Ellen and I co-host an ornament swap---it's the highlight of my year.
This year Ellen made a delicious cocktail that was so tasty I have to pass it along.
Pomegranate - Champagne Punch
Ingredients:
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
(2) 750 ml bottles chilled brut Champagne
1 1/2 cup white rum
1 1/4 Pomegranate juice
1 large lemon sliced
Pomegranate seeds (slice one pomegranate in half and gently remove the seeds over the punch.)
Fresh mint leaves
1 ice block
Prep:
Bring half cup water and sugar to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring until sugar dissolves. Simmer 5 minutes. Cool completely.
Combine Champagne, rum, and pomegranate juice in punch bowl (Ellen just used a pitcher and it worked fine). Add enough syrup to sweeten to taste. Mix in lemon slices, pomegranate seeds, and mint leaves.
Enjoy!
This is like the best Christmas punch ever! I highly recommend it!
See you on Monday!
