This is from Everyday Italian with Giada De Laurentiis. These sound great! I can't wait to try them. The prep time is assuming that the simple syrup is premade.
SERVES 8 -12
Ingredients
- 1 cup ice
- 1 1/2 cups simple syrup, recipe follows
- 1 1/4 cups unsweetened pomegranate juice, chilled
- 1 cup unsweetened cranberry juice, chilled
- 1 (25 1/3 fluid ounce) bottle sparkling water, chilled
- 2 limes, thinly sliced
- 1 bunch fresh mint, for garnish
Optional garnish
- 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds (optional)
Directions
1
Special equipment:.2
6 to 8 cup capacity punch bowl.3
Place the ice in a punch bowl. Add the simple syrup, pomegranate juice, and cranberry juice. Stir well. Slowly pour in the sparkling water. Garnish with lime slices, mint sprigs and pomegranate seeds, if using, and serve.4
Serving Suggestion: As an alternative to serving from a punch bowl, make the bellini mixture in a 6 to 8 cup capacity pitcher. Divide the pomegranate seeds between 12 champagne flutes. Add 1 slice of lime and 1 sprig of mint to each glass. Pour the bellini mixture into the prepared glasses and serve.5
Simple syrup:6
1 cup water7
1 cup sugar8
In a saucepan, combine water and sugar over medium heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved. Take the pan off the heat and allow the syrup to cool.

DELICIOUS! Everyone loved this drink-nice and tart and just sweet enough! Thank you, Shelby, for a great recipe! Made for the Think Pink Tag Game In Honor of Breast Cancer Awareness, October 2008.

5 Stars, this was a delightful punch, I loved the bite from the pomegranate and cranberry juices. I had to schlep to Trader Joe's to find unsweetened cranberry juice and unsweetened pomegranate juice. It seems to me you could approximate the same taste without making simple syrup by using sweetened juices available in most supermarkets (accepting the fructose as a tradeoff) and using old-fashioned club soda would make this even more accessible. I bruised the mint and submerged it, and cut a slit in my lime wedge. After the photo, I dunked the lime wedge and stirred. For a special luncheon, I would make the recipe as is, I enjoyed it more than most punches. For everyday slurping, I'll take my shortcuts after my current supplies run out. Thanks for posting, Shelby Jo! Made for Newest Zaar Tag.
