These are some of my favorite drink flavors. Tart pomegranate and spicy ginger make for a good cocktail to me.

I absolutely adore pomegranate as it is such a beautiful fruit and holds such deep history. Pomegranates are one of the several bites we have during Rosh Hashanah to bring in the Jewish New Year and I have also heard that pomegranates were seen as a "symbol of life" and ancient Egyptians would be buried with pomegranates in hopes of a second life. (Historians, do I have this right?)

This ice cold cocktail has warm flavors and looks gorgeous for the holidays.

Ginger is another flavor I absolutely adore. It's spicy and deep and we always have different forms of ginger in our fridge and pantry to spice up a dish or drink.

One of my favorite simple ginger tricks is to make ginger simple syrup, which is amazing in cocktails Like my Ginger Lychee Mojito. It keeps well and takes 10 minutes to make and is always ready when you are!

I also leave a piece of the ginger root in with the syrup and the entire concoction permeates with the fresh smell and awakens all your senses.

    I do not know whether it's just me or if everyone else experiencing issues
    with your site. It appears as if some of the text in your posts are running
    off the screen. Can someone else please provide feedback and
    let me know if this is happening to them as well?
    This could be a issue with my browser because I've had this
    happen before. Many thanks

    I love the blue glass fiji bottle! And love this drink. I've never tried to make my own crystallized ginger, but I love adding it to my banana bread. And I also love your bright blue boards and need some tips on making those. Apparently I love a lot of things this morning. 🙂
