TIPS AND TECHNIQUES
** Make sure to use really cold glasses to help enhance the fizz and bring out a cool crisp gin flavor. You can make it sweeter with more pomegranate juice or more fizzier with a bit extra sparkling water.
Want a stronger drink? Increase the amounts of gin and lessen the amount of berry sparkling water and Pomegranate Juice.
What to make this non-alcoholic? Omit the gin completely and add extra pomegranate juice and berry sparkling water.
