- 2 Cup(s) Pomegranate juice
- 1/4 Cup(s) Cointreau or any orange liqueur (or blood orange juice)
- 2 Cup(s) Sparkling water
- 2 Cup(s) Ice (you can always freeze wine cubes ahead of time)
- Blood orange slices for garnish
Directions
1. Pour wine in a pitcher, add pomegranate juice and Cointreau or juice, stir well.
2. Refrigerate at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
3. Remove mixture from fridge and add sparkling water and ice if desired. Stir well. Rim glasses just before pouring. Strain if you used ice and serve “up” in martini glasses. Garnish with blood orange slice.
For blood red sugar:
1. Place sugar in resealable plastic bag. Add 10 drops of food coloring, or more for intense color. Seal bag and knead gently until color is evenly distributed.
2. Spread in a thin layer on a baking sheet, breaking up any lumps. Allow to dry thoroughly, about 15-20 minutes. Sift or press through sieve to return sugar to its original texture, if needed.
3. Stir egg white (or orange juice) slightly, pour into shallow dish. GENTLY dip glass rim in egg white and then in sugar.
