Pomegranate Power

Pomegranate Sangria

There is nothing more satisfying than having a cocktail and at the same time getting a healthy dose of antioxidants. Pomegranate juice is delicious and rich in vitamins A, C, E and iron. While the fruit itself has an ancient history, its health benefits are making modern headlines. When you combine these benefits with its fruity, tart and delicious taste, pomegranate juice makes for a smart cocktail ingredient. We're all for savvy indulgences.
