POM Recipe 2 – Virgin Pomegranate and Cranberry Bellinis

I don’t drink alcohol, but that’s no reason to not have any fun, “fancy” drinks!! We really just mostly drink water here, but I thought it would be fun to make a fun drink with some of the POM juice. And I’m glad that I did, because this is delicious! This would be great for a holiday dinner or for a celebration – and both kids and adults would love it!

In a 6 to 8 cup capacity pitcher, combine the POM juice, cranberry juice and sparkling water.
