Print Recipe

A warm, spiced mocktail made with pomegranate juice, ginger ale, and a homemade honey syrup infused with cinnamon, cloves, and ginger. Ready in 10 minutes, it’s the perfect cozy drink for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ¼ cup honey (85g)
  • ¼ cup water (60ml)
  • 2 whole cinnamon sticks
  • 4 to 5 whole cloves
  • 2 thin slices fresh ginger (about ¼ inch thick)
  • ½ cup pomegranate juice (120ml)
  • ¾ cup ginger ale (180ml)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (15ml)
  • Ice cubes (enough to fill glass)
  • Pomegranate arils (for garnish, optional)
  • 1 thin orange slice (for garnish, optional)
  • 1 small fresh rosemary sprig (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine honey, water, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and ginger slices in a small saucepan. Place over medium heat and stir gently until honey dissolves and mixture simmers (about 2 minutes). Do not let it boil vigorously.
  2. Remove from heat and let steep for 10 minutes (up to 20 minutes for stronger spice flavor).
  3. Strain syrup through a fine-mesh strainer into a glass measuring cup or bowl. Discard solids. Let cool for at least 5 minutes. You should have about ⅓ cup (80ml) syrup.
  4. Fill a serving glass with ice cubes.
  5. Pour pomegranate juice over ice, then add fresh lime juice.
  6. Add 2 tablespoons (30ml) of the cooled spiced honey syrup (adjust to taste).
  7. Top with ginger ale, pouring slowly to preserve fizz. Stir gently with a bar spoon or chopstick.
  8. Garnish with orange slice, pomegranate arils, and rosemary sprig (optional). Serve immediately.

Notes

The spiced honey syrup can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup. For a lower-sugar version, use sugar-free ginger ale and reduce honey to 2 tablespoons. Do not add ginger ale ahead of time or it will go flat.
