Ingredients

  • 1 lime wedge, cut a lime into 8 wedges
  • 1 mint leaf
  • 2 oz vodka
  • 2 oz blood orange juice
  • 1 oz pomegranate juice
  • 4 oz ginger beer
  • crushed ice
  • lime wedge or blood orange slice, as garnishes

Instructions

  • In a glass, muddle together the lime wedge and mint leaf, releasing the lime juice and crushing the leaf.
  • Add the vodka, blood orange juice, and pomegranate juice to the glass.
  • Pour in the ginger beer and give the drink a stir. Fill the glass the rest of the way with crushed ice. Garnish with a lime wedge and/or a blood orange slice if you wish.

Notes

  • Blood oranges: Blood oranges are usually found in the winter and spring, though you may get lucky and find some in the summer. Look for heavy, firm fruit. You will need about 1 and 1/2 oranges for the drink.
  • Standard orange juice: Using standard orange colored orange juice in the drink has the unfortunate effect of making it a drab, beige color.
