This pink grapefruit & pomegranate gin cocktail looks and tastes gorgeous (but is super easy to make)

An incredibly simple drink to make at home that needs no fancy equipment or ingredients, this pretty pink gin cocktail is a slightly tart, slightly sweet and totally refreshing tipple to serve on a summer’s evening. We love how stunning the little jewels of pomegranate seeds look bobbing about in your glass - as well as the little bursts of flavour you get from them!

You could use pomegranate seeds from a fresh fruit; many supermarkets and deli shops now sell packets of just the seeds all year round, too.

We recommend using freshly squeezed grapefruit juice if you can, for the freshest flavour; that said, shop-bought is totally fine - but you might want to leave out the simple syrup if you do use shop-bought, as it tends to have sugar added to it and can be already quite sweet. As ever, try your drink without the syrup first and then add or adjust the quantities to suit your own tastes!

This is also a fantastic party drink you can make in big jugs when you’ve got friends coming over - simply multiply all of the quantities below by the number of guests you’re expecting (and how thirsty they tend to be….). Enjoy!
