Preparation

• Make the flavor base In a small jug, whisk together pomegranate juice, lemon juice, honey/agave, rose water and cold water until the sweetener fully dissolves (about 30–60 sec). Taste and adjust sweetness or lemon.
• Chill the glasses Fill two tall glasses with ice cubes to about ⅔ full and let them sit for 1–2 min so the glass becomes nicely chilled.
• Build the drinks Divide the pomegranate–rose base evenly between the two glasses (about 110–120 ml / 3.7–4 fl oz per glass).
• Top with bubbles Gently top each glass with chilled sparkling water (about 150 ml / 5 fl oz per glass), pouring down the side of the glass to keep the fizz. Give each drink one or two slow stirs with a long spoon.
• Garnish & serve Garnish with a slice of lemon or orange and a sprig of mint or a few pomegranate arils. Serve immediately while ice-cold and bubbly.
