Ingredients
1 1/2 cups gin, such as Tanqueray
1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (6 to 8 limes)
1 cup pomegranate juice, such as Pom Wonderful
1/2 cup simple syrup (see Cook's Note)
Pomegranate seeds, for garnish
6 to 8 thin, whole, round slices of lime, for garnish

Cook’s Note
For the simple syrup, combine 1 cup of sugar with 1 cup of water in a small saucepan and heat until the sugar dissolves completely. Set aside to cool or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
