Not everyone drinks.  And for those of us who do, sometimes we need a bit of a breather.

So, here is a non-alcoholic cocktail that you can enjoy at Christmas or anytime of year.  The pomegranate juice adds a bit of seasonal red and the pomegranate seeds add a bit of festive glitz.

Ingredients

1 tsp pomegranate seeds

1 bunch of mint

1 lime quarter, plus slice to garnish

100ml pomegranate juice

50ml lemonade

Method

Reserve half the mint for serving, and tear the rest into a large glass with the lime quarter. Using a rolling pin, muddle the mint and lime to release the flavours.

Add the pomegranate juice and lemonade. Put ice cubes in a glass, then strain over the pomegranate mix through a small sieve. Garnish with lime slice and more mint.
