Sounds delicious! I'm usually a Chardonnay person but love a good cocktail on occasion. This one would certainly make for one of those occasions 🙂

This is my kind of drink! Now all I need is a beach and some sun:) Can you send some up north and the drink too?…lol
LaDivaCucina
Dang, La Diva just LOVES a nice, tart cocktail! This sounds delish! Pom juice rocks, doesn't it? (By the way, Costco offers a pure pomegranate juice at less than $7 for a 64 oz. jug, cheaper than POM.)
Eliana
YUMMY! I could enjoy one (or two or three) of these every single day!
Kim
I love everything about this cocktail, Velva. The name of it, the color of it, and the fact that it calls for rum….my personal favorite.
Stevie
This drink sounds amazing! I really enjoy cocktails with grapefruit and adding pomegranate is s stunner! I want to make this sometime soon.
