Pomegranate Ginger Fizz is a festive cocktail that’s fun to serve during the holidays. The pomegranate juice gives it a pretty color and adds a nice dose of antioxidants, too. The honey ginger syrup provides just the right amount of sweetness with a mild ginger flavor. For a nonalcoholic version, omit the vodka. This recipe makes 2 drinks.
