Instructions
- Chill your serving glass in the freezer while you gather your ingredients. You’ll need a cocktail shaker, a jigger for measuring, and a fine strainer.

- Fill the shaker about three-quarters full with ice. Seal it tightly and shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds until the shaker feels cold to the touch.
- Remove your chilled glass from the freezer. Use a fine strainer to pour the cocktail into the glass, ensuring a smooth texture.
- Sprinkle a few pomegranate seeds on top and add a lime wheel to the rim of the glass.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
