NEW! Pomegranate Spritzer Mocktail (or Cocktail) (nut-free) – No blog post for this, simply divide a can of sparkling water into two glasses.  Add 3 tablespoons of 100% pomegranate juice and 1 tablespoon of pomegranate seeds.  I like to also add 1 teaspoon agave (stir well to combine).  Serve with ice.  I sometimes add freshly peeled ginger to the drink as well which is yummy.  You can also add a sprig of rosemary to garnish it.  Add vodka to make it a cocktail.  See picture below.

I hope you find these recipes helpful or at the very least inspirational in these final hours.  Wishing everyone a fabulous Thanksgiving with your loved ones.
