Instructions

Chill the martini glasses in the freezer for at least 15 minutes before mixing.
Mix the cocktail: add the vodka, pomegranate juice, triple sec, lime juice, simple syrup, and ice to a cocktail shaker. Shake for 30-60 seconds.
Rim the chilled glasses: place the sugar on a shallow plate or in a shallow bowl. Cut a slice in the center of a lime wedge. Run the cut wedge along the rim, then dip it in the sugar, turning it until the whole rim is covered.
Strain the martini into both glasses and garnish with pomegranate arils and fresh rosemary.

Notes

Recipe Tips

High-quality ingredients make a difference – especially pomegranate juice. Use 100% pure pomegranate juice over a fresh juice blend for a crisp flavor.
Pre-chill the martini glasses before serving. A warm martini is a sad martini. Pop glasses in the freezer for 15 minutes right before serving to keep everyone happy!
Don’t stir – shake! Fill your cocktail shaker about ⅔ with ice, and shake long enough (about 30-60 seconds) until a smooth, frothy texture forms.
Presentation is key. Rim the martini glasses with sugar, then garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs, pomegranate seeds, a cinnamon stick, star anise, or lime wedges to suit your style or occasion!
