Pomegranate Spritz

I've always loved pomegranates, in all of their forms. Growing up, pomegranate molasses was a staple at our dinner table — it makes for a wonderfully tart, acidic component in salad dressings, and I've also been known to drizzle some over a bowl of olive oil or on top of hummus. Similarly, I'll eat pomegranate seeds out of a bowl with a spoon and love dipping them into melted chocolate for a sweet treat. This drink gives one of my favorite fall fruits the spritz treatment. Best of all, you don't need to stain your hands — just buy the bottled juice, I promise it works perfectly! — Oset Babür-Winter
