Notes
- For the best flavor, use fresh, organic ingredients whenever possible. Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of pomegranate syrup, or opt for sparkling water instead of Sprite for a less sweet version. This mocktail is best enjoyed immediately after preparation to maintain its refreshing, crisp taste. Feel free to experiment with garnishes like a sugar-rimmed glass or a splash of lime juice for an extra tangy twist.
