Sparkling Winter Pomegranate Cocktails feat. Just Date Pomegranate Syrup

Among the jewels of winter's harvest, the pomegranate stands out, bursting with tart sweetness and a ruby-red hue. To celebrate this seasonal delight, we've crafted a collection of simple yet sophisticated cocktail recipes that marry the rich flavor of Just Date Pomegranate Syrup with the effervescence of Une Femme Wines' The Betty Sparkling Brut.

For all of these recipes, we’re using Just Date's Just Pomegranate Syrup.

Sylvie Charles, MD is the founder of Just Date Syrup, a line of natural sweeteners made from single plant sources. Following a debilitating spine injury and a challenging medical leave of absence, Charles started to explore her lifelong passion for food and healing. Her products have been featured in Bon Appetit, The New York Times, WSJ, and more.

Dr. Sylvie Charles’ lifelong passion for food and healing was planted at a young age in her family kitchen, where she shared nourishing, Indian meals steeped in healing, Ayurvedic tradition. She was inspired by the struggles of her diabetic father and diabetic patients at UCSF. Sylvie grew passionate about refined sugar’s negative impact on public health. She was unsatisfied with the way honey, maple syrup, and coconut sugar still led to a blood sugar spike and crash, and troubled by the high fructose in agave, along the processing of artificial sweeteners – including stevia. With a naturally low glycemic index, nutrient density, and high antioxidant content, she realized organic dates were the perfect solution for a better sugar.

So, let’s get into these pomegranate cocktails.
