We are doing another #SundaySupper today and I couldn’t resist joining in for this one as it is Libations, you know drinks, alcoholic bevies, cocktails but also any dishes made with alcohol. I love cooking with alcohol and I love making fun cocktails. I always do at least one cocktail for the site for the holidays. This one Ken and I invented together. He suggested Southern Comfort and I suggested pomegranate juice, there the Southern Pomegranate Sparkler was born.
I adore pomegranates for the holidays. They are bursting with bright red gems and are so very festive plus they are readily available and delicious!! I love serving a cocktail for a dinner party or holiday occasion. I think I have this one nailed for Christmas this year, I loved it. I have to admit I took pictures in the afternoon and didn’t try but a sip of the cocktail until supper time. By then the pomegranate seeds had soaked up a bit of the Southern Comfort flavor and were out-of-this-world yummy. I think I will do that and soak some in pomegranate juice and Southern Comfort before making the cocktail, it just added that extra boost of yumminess.
