Spiced Pomegranate Spritzer

Method

1. Add equal parts sugar and water to a saucepan with the Advieh-E Halegh
2. Gently simmer until the sugar dissolves
3. Pour into a tall jug or Boston (cocktail shaker) and leave to cool. Refrigerate if you are going to do the preparation earlier in the day
4. Add the pomegranate juice and Chambord together
5. Add vodka optional. Stir the jug or ideally shake the Boston shaker with vigour. Use a Hawthorne strainer to pour into a flute. Full details on method are here.
6. Top up each cocktail glass with Prosecco or Cava or splash out with Champagne. N.B Choose a dry or semi dry as the pomegranate will be sweet. 
7. If you have a spring of mint or thyme, add for decoration or even some pomegranate seeds. 
8. If you don't have all alcoholic ingredients, feel free to improvise. You could change the vodka for gin.
