While travelling in India, I discovered and fell in love with the Pomegranate. What started as hours of prep, died hands and a delicious result, is now a lifelong respect for this wonder fruit. The pomegranate is so much more than grenadine or colour. It is truly one of the worlds super fruits. This cocktail is made to express that specialty and keep it simple for the classics sake.

Take a Classic Mule, sub gin for Vodka (flavour!!), shorten and serve cold but neat.
