Did you ever know us to turn down a Monday cocktail?!  When our friends and creative partners Jenn Gietzen and Kathryn McCrary passed this pomegranate cocktail recipe our way, we got right to trying it.  Jenn and Kathryn constantly have us drooling over at #ProjectSip, where they come together and share simple (and oh-so-delicious) seasonal cocktail creations, so we knew this would be a good one to add to the drink rotation this spring. 
 
Project Sip’s “All About That Pom” Pomegranate Mojito, perfectly balances the tart and the sweet, with its lime juice, fresh mint, pomegranate juice, rum, and a little bit of sugar.  Not to mention, the rich color of the pomegranate juice makes for a gorgeous glass topped with a fresh sprig of mint and a sugar rim.  Cheers, Kat

On a recent trip to Mexico, the Mr. and I fell in love with a little cocktail called The Paloma.  The Paloma combines tequila with the tart and fresh flavors of grapefruit and lime to create the most refreshing of libations.  A typical Paloma recipe is topped with a lime or grapefruit wedge, but I really love adding a slice or two of jalepenos for some heat.  Or try a fresh sprig of thyme or mint to cool it down.  Either way you shake it, or top it, I guarantee this Paloma recipe will quickly become a new five o’clock favorite.  Truly, MKR

Pears have always been one of my absolute favorite fruits.  And with over 3,000 known varieties grown around the world and just as many distinct flavors, pears were just begging for me to transform them into a cocktail or two.

My Pear Blossom Fizz combines rich pear, elderflower blossom liqueur, bubbles (of course), and is topped off with an unexpected dash of cinnamon to highlight the natural warmth of pear, while my Spiced Pear Margarita is all about the juxtaposition of the jalepeno’s heat, the tartness of the lime, and the natural sweetness of agave.

So regardless if you like your libation a little on the sweet side or a with a bit more of a kick, pear should be your next go-to cocktailing ingredient.  Cheers!  Truly, MKR
