A clear pitcher of ruby-red pomegranate mocktail with lemon wheels, fresh ginger, pomegranate arils, and ice on a navy runner.

Ingredients

3 cups 100% pomegranate juice, chilled
2 cups strong-brewed rooibos tea, chilled
3/4 cup fresh ruby grapefruit juice
3 tablespoons pomegranate molasses
3 cups chilled sparkling water
1 cup pomegranate arils, divided
1 lemon, thinly sliced into wheels
Ice for serving

Instructions

In a large pitcher, whisk the pomegranate juice, chilled rooibos tea, ruby grapefruit juice, and pomegranate molasses until the molasses is fully dissolved.
Refrigerate the base for 10 minutes so the tea and citrus are thoroughly cold before the sparkling water is added.
Add half of the pomegranate arils and the lemon wheels to the pitcher.
Just before serving, slowly pour in the chilled sparkling water and stir once.
Serve over ice and finish each glass with a few remaining pomegranate arils.
