Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bottle (750 ml) champagne or sparkling wine, chilled
- 1 cup (240 ml) pomegranate juice, chilled
- 1/4 cup pomegranate arils, for garnish
Instructions
- Chill the champagne, pomegranate juice, and glasses for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
- If using a whole pomegranate, remove the arils and set aside. If using pre-packaged arils, rinse quickly under cold water if dry and pat dry with a paper towel.
- Add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of pomegranate juice to each champagne flute.
- Slowly pour the chilled champagne into each glass, filling it to about three-quarters full. Tilt the glass slightly as you pour to minimize foam.
- Drop 5-6 pomegranate arils into each glass. For arils to stay suspended, add them before pouring the champagne.
- Serve immediately. Do not stir the drink after adding the champagne.
Notes
Temperature is everything—chill all ingredients and glasses overnight. Use a brut or extra-dry sparkling wine for best balance. Pour juice first, then champagne, and do not stir. For a large batch, mix 1 part juice to 3 parts champagne in a pitcher and stir gently. Frozen pomegranate arils can be used as ice cubes to keep the drink cold without diluting.
