    POMEGRANATE WHISKEY SOUR RECIPE

    If you want a lip smacking cocktail that's perfect for the winter holidays, mix up an easy to make Pomegranate Whiskey Sour.

    Have you ever removed the seeds from a pomegranate? If you ask around, I'm sure you'll find there are a lot of people who haven't. You can usually buy a pack of seeds that have already been removed from the fruit, but they cost more and usually don't taste as fresh. Don't be skeeered. Its super easy. You just score the peel into quarters by only letting the knife go in about ⅛th of an inch so as to not cut any seeds. Then, fill a big bowl full of water, submerge that beautiful fruit, and rip those quarters apart. You use a bowl of water for two reasons: 1) The vibrant juice won't get you in the eye and 2) the seeds sink to the bottom and the pith and peel float. Just use your fingers to gently separate the seeds from everything else and you're good to go.

    I really like my huge ice cubes. I bought the big daddy silicon ice cube tray and just love it for my boozy drinks.

    This drink turns the most beautiful color pink. Its perfectly sweet and tart at the same time - exactly what you want in a whiskey sour. Go ahead and add some lemon peel for garnish. You know you want to.

      Hi,
      Could you pre-make this and bottle it for use later?

        Yes! This is the kind of recipe where you can't really mess it up. Just make a whole bunch and play around with the quantities. Krissy
