HERE ARE THE INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED:

1 LEMON
FRESH ROSEMARY
POMEGRANATE (OR POMEGRANATE SEEDS)
1 BOTTLE OF PROSECCO OR CHAMPAGNE
CLUB SODA
4 OZ POMEGRANATE JUICE
SIMPLE SYRUP (YOU CAN USE SUGAR & WATER TO MAKE YOUR OWN AT HOME TOO)

DIRECTIONS TO MAKE 4 SERVINGS:

If you are making your own simple syrup, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, add 1 cup of sugar and stir until it is completely dissolved. Remove pan from stove and let cool. Once cool, it should be a liquid syrup consistency!
Cut lemon into wedges and de-seed pomegranate. (If you don’t want to cut up or buy a pomegranate, you can always just buy a container of pomegranate seeds!)
In each champagne glass/flute, squeeze the juice of 1 lemon wedge.
Pour 1 oz of pomegranate juice into each glass.
Pour 2 oz of club soda in each glass.
Add 1/2 oz. of simple syrup.
Fill each glass to the top with Prosecco or champagne, then stir.
Top the glass with pomegranate seeds and some fresh rosemary!
