Pomegranate Simple Syrup & Sparkle Wine Cooler Recipe #328848
Found the clipping in the Paleozic layer littered on my desk--time to get it recorded for posterity! Comes from a magazine, don't ask me which one, though! Anyway make the syrup first, then get right to the wine cooler. Lovely color, brightens up ANY occasion; festive for the holidays, lovely for a bridal or new mom shower. SYRUP makes enough for 20 drinks PREP & COOK time is for making the syrup.

- SIMPLE SYRUP:.
- Stir together syrup ingredients in a small saucepan; boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally; reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally; altogether about 35 minutes until reduced to about 1 1/4 cups syrup.
- SPARKLER:.
- Pour syrup into tall glass, add wine and liqueur; stir, add ice cubes and lemon wedge if desired.
- NON-ALCOHOLIC VERSIONS:.
- Instead of wine, use apple juice or apple cider for a totally different kick. A splash of 7-Up (white) soda will cut the wine nicely, too.
