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.

Vanilla Sugar:

1 vanilla beans, split in 1/2 lengthwise and crosswise
4 cups granulated sugar

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.

Festive cocktail

This is definitely a specialty drink-nice to have something different-I used Splenda instead of sugar to keep the calories... down. It was nice and refreshing!Read more

Really good...
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

but not much of a "mojito" once you add all the pomegranate and vanilla - it covers up the fresh mint and lime a bit too... much.Read more

This drink was a HUGE hit with all of out friends. Be careful, though, it has a delayed "kick".

I love the original mojito so decided to try this one. Had never had pomegranate before so that took a little getting used... to. Would definitely make this again.Read more

I'd like to think the pomegranate was healthy for me, too.
