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. For a mocktail version, replace vodka with sparkling water and skip Cointreau. The fresh herbs add beneficial compounds without calories. Remember to enjoy alcoholic beverages in moderation and stay hydrated. Consider alternating with water between cocktails.
