Instructions

1. Muddle the mint:
   In a large glass or pitcher, add the mint leaves and sugar (or simple syrup).
   Gently muddle with a spoon or muddler to release the mint flavor — don’t crush the leaves too much.
2. Add the juices:
   Pour in the pomegranate juice and lime juice. Stir well until the sugar dissolves.
3. Add ice:
   Fill two serving glasses with ice cubes.
4. Pour and top:
   Pour the pomegranate mixture over the ice.
   Top each glass with soda water or sparkling water for bubbles.
5. Optional — Add rum:
   Add 1–2 oz white rum per glass if you want a classic mojito twist.
6. Garnish:
   Add pomegranate arils and fresh mint sprigs. Add lime slices if you like!
7. Serve immediately:
   Stir gently and enjoy chilled.
