Cocktail of the Week: Pomegranate Mojito

When cocktail time rolled around tonight, I wanted something new and different. So I cruised through the "stack of stuff" and found this one...supposedly from the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills. Adapted slightly, it was just what the doctor ordered. Tangy, slightly sweet and refreshing. What more can you ask from an early summer cocktail?

Pomegranate Mojito
Makes one drink.

2 tablespoons sugar (superfine dissolves fastest and best)
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
12 mint leaves
1/3 cup pomegranate juice
1/3 cup white rum
Club soda

In a tall glass, muddle sugar, lime juice and mint leaves. Add pomegranate juice and rum. Fill glass with ice and top off with generous splash of club soda. Stir to combine and enjoy!
