 RecipesPomegranate-Key Lime Vodka Cocktails
Jeff Gremillion, Cooking Light, December 2007
Key limes are smaller, rounder, and more robustly flavored than the common Persian lime and often have yellow-green skin. They're perfect for this drink, but you can substitute 1/4 cup regular lime juice. Prepare the syrup a day ahead, and keep it in the fridge until you're ready to mix the cocktails. 1/4 cup sugar 1/4 cup water 1 cup club soda 1 cup unsweetened pomegranate juice 1/2 cup vodka 3 tablespoons fresh Key lime juice (about 3 limes) Crushed ice Key lime slices (optional) Combine sugar and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 2 minutes or just until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat; cool. Combine sugar syrup, club soda, pomegranate juice, vodka, and lime juice. Place crushed ice in a martini shaker; add about 3/4 cup pomegranate mixture. Cover and shake. Strain into a glass. Garnish with lime slice, if desired. Repeat procedure with remaining pomegranate mixture. 4 servings (serving size: 3/4 cup) Nutrition: CALORIES 151(0.0% from fat); FAT 0.0g (sat 0.0g,mono 0.0g,poly 0.0g); PROTEIN 0.3g; CHOLESTEROL 0.0mg; CALCIUM 15mg; SODIUM 21mg; FIBER 0.1g; IRON 0.1 |
