This Pomegranate Vodka Gimlet is a vibrant and refreshing cocktail made with tart pomegranate juice, smooth vodka, and a splash of lime.

Do you have a cocktail you order every time you go out? I don’t. I will often order a glass of wine or a beer if they have one I like on special, but I have never been a fancy cocktail sort of girl. My dad on the other hand, a Vodka Gimlet is his go to. Which I love, but also wanted to make a version that was more fun!

Every Saturday night my parents each have a vodka gimlet at home these days. My mom likes hers with more sweetened lime juice so it isn’t as tart. I have to agree with her, I like mine a little on the sweeter side. Which is probably why I like a Vodka Cranberry so much!

So I decided to put my own twist on the vodka gimlet and make a Pomegranate Vodka Gimlet that is sweet, pretty, and just fun!

I did a little research to find out that grenadine used to be made with pomegranate juice. These days the cost is too high, so it isn’t used any more, at least in the Rose’s brand. There is a brand in Europe that still uses pomegranate juice to make theirs.

If you have grenadine on hand, you can use that and you will not notice a difference. It is already sweetened, so you can skip the simple syrup step, unless you really like it sweet, then you can adjust that to taste.
