The second Pom Wonderful drink I designed features a gorgeous homemade pomegranate-hibiscus cordial that has a pucker of acidity and an infusion of lipstick red tones.⁣⁠⁠

Fragrant and complex, this drink has the charm of a well-made gin & tonic, sans the juniper of the gin. Swipe through to see the recipe.⁣⁠⁠

 

In a Collins glass filled with ice, combine Cordial, pear and pomegranate juices. Give a quick stir to combine.

Top with chilled tonic a little at a time, so as not to overwhelm the flavors.

 

In a medium saucepan, bring water to a gentle boil. In a mason jar or plastic bag, combine Cordial ingredients. Seal and gently cook in a water bath (sous vide) for two hours.

Remove from heat, let cool and strain away solids.
