Ingredients

• 1 cup 100% pomegranate juice
• 3 cups ginger beer, chilled
• 1/2 cup vodka
• 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup water
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 6 cardamom pods, lightly crushed
• 1/2 cup pomegranate arils, for garnish
• 4 lime wedges, for garnish

Directions

1. Combine sugar, water, cinnamon sticks, and crushed cardamom pods in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let steep for 10 minutes, then strain out the spices and let the syrup cool completely.
2. Fill four copper mugs or tall glasses with ice.
3. Pour 2 tablespoons of the spiced syrup into each mug, followed by 2 tablespoons of vodka and 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice.
4. Add 1/4 cup of pomegranate juice to each mug and stir gently to combine.
5. Top each mug with about 3/4 cup of chilled ginger beer and give it one gentle stir so you keep the fizz.
6. Garnish each drink with a small handful of pomegranate arils and a lime wedge on the rim, then serve immediately.
