I had the chance to sample the Pom Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice and loved it. It has both a tart and sweet taste. It was smooth in drinking without any bad after tastes. I read the health benefits of the Pom Wonderful and the nutritional values are great. The label says it's 100% authentic and that is the case. Other brands that claim they are just the Pomegranate Juice could also contain apple, cranberry, white grape, lemon and others not making it a pure Pomegranate product. It is also filled with a ton of antioxidants. The best part of Pom Wonderful is:
- it contain no added sugars, preservatives or colors
- is a good source of potassium
- is gluten-free
- is flash pasteurized to retain both flavor and nutrients
- is certified kosher
For centuries, the pomegranate has been valued as a symbol of health and has been the centerpiece of many traditional folk medicine practices.
In 1998, POM initiated modern medical research to understand the health benefits of the Wonderful variety of pomegranates. To date, we’ve invested $32 million. This research has involved a number of top scientists from leading universities around the world, including a Nobel Laureate.
So far, 47 total studies, including 14 clinical studies, have been published in peer-reviewed journals. Primary research areas have included prostate, cardiovascular, and erectile function as well as antioxidant composition and safety/bioavailability.
Ingredients
3/8 cup freshly squeezed pomegranate juice* or POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice
3/8 cup fresh lemonade**
1-1/2 oz. sparkling water
Garnish
lemon slice
mint sprig
Preparation
- Fill a tall tumbler glass a little more than halfway with ice cubes.
- Pour 3/8 cup fresh lemonade into the glass, up to the halfway mark.
- Slowly add pomegranate juice. (The goal is to create a mix of half lemonade and half pomegranate juice, so adjust accordingly for the size of your glass.)
- Add sparkling water.
- Stir with an iced-tea spoon or a swizzle stick.
Note
* This cocktail can be made with freshly squeezed juice from a large POM Wonderful Pomegranate or by using POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice. To juice the pomegranate, cut it in half (as you would a grapefruit) and juice using a citrus reamer or a juicer. Pour the mixture through a cheesecloth-lined strainer or sieve. One large POM Wonderful Pomegranate will produce about 1/2 cup of juice. ** To make fresh lemonade, roll six lemons on a wooden board to loosen the juice. Juice lemons using a hand reamer or electric citrus juicer; strain juice into a pitcher. Add 3/4 cup sugar and 8 cups of water, mixing well with a wooden spoon. Adjust for taste, but be sure to taste it before adding more sugar; the tartness of lemons can vary greatly).
