Ingredients

  • 1½ oz vodka (or gin for a floral twist)
  • 1 oz pomegranate juice
  • ½ oz fresh lime juice
  • ½ oz simple syrup or rose syrup
  • 3 oz chilled prosecco or sparkling rosé
  • Ice
  • Garnish: fresh raspberries, a lime wheel, or a rose petal

Instructions

  1. Fill a wine glass or coupe with ice to chill, then discard excess ice if desired.
  2. Add vodka, pomegranate juice, lime juice, and simple syrup to the glass. Stir gently to combine.
  3. Top with prosecco or sparkling rosé, pouring slowly to preserve the bubbles.
  4. Give one light stir to blend.
  5. Garnish with fresh raspberries and a lime wheel, or float a single edible rose petal for a romantic finish.

*For a Non-alcoholic or Mocktail Version eliminate the vodka and top with sparkling water or non-alcoholic rose'.

Valentine’s Touch

For extra flair, rim the glass with pink sugar: rub the rim with lime, dip into pink sanding sugar, and let it set before pouring. Serve with chocolate-dipped strawberries or a candlelit table for an effortlessly romantic presentation.
