Ingredients

For the pomegranate syrup:

One (8 ounce) bottle of POM pomegranate juice
One (1x1'') square of fresh peeled ginger, sliced into quarters
One whole cinnamon stick
2 tablespoons maple syrup

For the mocktail:

⅔ cup sparkling apple cider, well-chilled (I recommend Martinelli’s brand)
⅓ cup club soda, well-chilled
½ teaspoon of the pomegranate syrup
Crushed ice
Garnishes: thinly sliced apple, cinnamon sticks

Instructions

For the pomegranate syrup:

Combine the pomegranate juice, ginger, and cinnamon stick in a small saucepan. Bring the juice to a slow boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally until the juice is syrupy and reduced to about ⅓ cup. This should take about 15 minutes. Strain the juice into a container and stir in the maple syrup. Chill until ready to use.

For the mocktail:

In a liquid measuring cup, combine the cider, club soda, and pomegranate syrup. Stir or whisk to combine. Pour over crushed ice.
To make more than one serving: use 2 parts sparkling cider to 1 part club soda with a ½ teaspoon of pomegranate syrup per serving.
