Pomegranate Martini

While this is a cocktail, pomegranate juice offers significant health benefits. It’s rich in antioxidants and may support heart health. Fresh lime adds vitamin C and brightens flavors naturally. Pomegranate arils provide fiber and additional antioxidants. To make healthier, reduce simple syrup or use a natural sweetener.
