Pomegranate Mojito with Vanilla Sugar
Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse, 2002

Ingredients
1/4 cup pomegranate juice
2 ounces white rum
1 tablespoon vanilla sugar, or to taste, recipe follows
4 ounces club soda
Cracked ice
6 sprigs fresh mint

Directions
In a cocktail shaker, combine all ingredients except
the mint and shake well. Mull the mint in the bottom of a cocktail glass. Strain
the pomegranate mixture into the glass with the mulled mint, and serve.

Ingredients
Vanilla Sugar:
1 vanilla beans, split in 1/2 lengthwise and crosswise
4 cups granulated sugar

Directions
In a large container with an airtight closure, place
1/2 of the sugar. Add the bean quarters and cover with the remaining 2 cups of
sugar. Close tightly. Place in a cool, dark place. Twice a day shake the container
to distribute the vanilla essence. Continue the process for at least 1 week and up
to 3 weeks. Replace the sugar as it is used.
