This classy and red Hades and Persephone-themed Halloween cocktail combines spiced pomegranate juice, gin, and tonic water. It's essentially a spiced pomegranate gin and tonic decked out for the spooky season! Heads up: drink only if you want to be tied to the underworld forever!

Ingredients

For the spiced pomegranate juice:

  • 1 cup Pomegranate juice 
  • Zest of 1 orange 
  • 2 tablespoons sugar 
  • 4 cinnamon sticks 
  • 2 star anise 

For the cocktail:

  • Ice 
  • 2 ounces gin
  • 2 ounces spiced pomegranate juice
  • 4-5 ounces tonic water

Instructions

  1. Make the spiced pomegranate juice by combining the juice, cinnamon, star anise, sugar, and orange zest in a pot and cooking for 10 minutes. Let cool, then strain.
  2. Fill a glass with ice, add the gin and the juice, then top with tonic water.
  3. Stir the drink, then garnish with pomegranate or orange.

Notes

  • Don't boil the pomegranate juice but gently cook until the sugar has dissolved and the cinnamon and been infused.
  • You could also garnish with cinnamon sticks 
  • You could use ground cinnamon instead of sticks but I would just use about 1 tsp.
