Pomegranate shrub

300ml pomegranate juice
(use 100% juice, not a juice drink)
150g caster sugar
150ml raw apple cider vinegar
(with the mother)

Pomegranate fizz

50ml pink gin
25ml pomegranate shrub
(see above)
sparkling rosé wine
for topping up
pomegranate seeds
to garnish

Method

step 1
To make the shrub, gently heat the pomegranate juice and sugar in a pan, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved. Take off the heat and stir in the vinegar. Cool before decanting into sterilised bottles. This will make more than you need but will keep in the fridge for a week.
step 2
Put the pink gin and 25ml of the pomegranate shrub into a cocktail shaker, fill with ice and shake hard, then strain into a chilled coupe glass. Top up with sparkling rosé wine and garnish with a few pomegranate seeds.
