I love pomegranate because of it's tangy and sweet taste and also for it's health benefits.
Pomegranates are available everywhere from grocery stores to fruit stands and the highly antioxidant juice is also available in many supermarket chains worldwide. It's dark red juice is perfect to mix with drinks and also to add to your favorite recipes.
Every time I host a party I always enjoy serving The Pomegranate Champagne Cocktail, my friends and family always find this cocktail deliciously chic!
In this weeks coffee I thought I'd share with shesdaily.com friends and readers, a few of my many favorite pomegranate drinks and cocktails which includes the Pomegranate Champagne Cocktail.
