Pomegranate Orange Juice Mocktail: Pomegranate – Do you love these little juicy pearls full of flavors? Who doesn’t. I love to take a bowl full of them and enjoy with a spoon while watching my favorite daily soap 😀 Please don’t think I am such a spoiled brat. When I was little my grand mom used to peel off these mouth watery fruits and keep it ready for me. And when I used to come back from school she gave me with much enthusiasm. I still remember that shine in her eyes.  So that’s why I like pomegranate so much 🙂
I have made many juices / party drinks using pomegranate earlier like this pomegranate lemonade spritzer. While I like all of them this one is my personal favorite. Reason is its a mocktail with club soda. And it sizzles and taste amazing when served chilled.
Pomegranate can be used in so many ways in our culinary adventures.  Not only in juices but also the seeds from pomegranate is used in different Indian sabzis (curries). Pomegranate is used to garnish different dishes. Gujarati dabeli (traditional double bread dish from Kutch, Gujarat) is not complete without pomegranate. A simple pomegranate lemonade (mixing lemon juice with pomegranate juice) is perfect for a hot summer afternoon.
Here in this simple recipe I have showed how you can make 3 layer (multi-layered) drink from pomegranate. The bottom layer is from pomegranate Popsicle that we have scraped. Next layer is plain orange juice and the final layer is of club soda. This drink is perfect for parties such as birthday parties, kitty parties or get-together. This vitamin C rich welcome drink is good for kids too. Just make sure you use fresh fruit juices instead of ready made ones.
