Blueberry pom punch is the most versatile holiday beverage
During the season, the beverages are flowing. Beer, wine, and a variety of other drinks join the plentiful food on the table. For party hosts looking for a versatile option, blueberry pom punch is that beverage.
Whether it is a big party or an impromptu gathering, a versatile beverage can be a game changer. Even though there can be certain staple offerings, the holiday season has people wanting something a little different.
Recently, bubly shared a beverage recipe that works well as both a mocktail and a cocktail. The blueberry pom punch is bright and refreshing. Here’s how to make it.
Blueberry pom punch
Ingredients:
1 oz cranberry juice
1 oz lemonade
6 oz blueberry pomegranate bubly
Sprinkle of pink peppercorn
Sprinkle of cinnamon
Mocktail recipe:
Fill the highball glass with ice, add juices and spices
Top with blueberry pomegranate bubly
Stir and garnish
Cocktail recipe:
Add one ounce of an alcohol of your choice
Although some people might be skeptical, the sprinkle of pink peppercorn is definitely worth it. That slight kick of heat helps to bring out the sweet tartness. With the warmth from the cinnamon, the cocktail is well balanced.
While the directions do not necessarily include this tip, a garnished rim would be lovely. A combination of the pink peppercorn, cinnamon and a little sugar would be delightful.
Additionally, swapping a plain blueberry for a sugared blueberry garnish is nice. Just those little touches can make the cocktail shine brightly.
Since this beverage works both a cocktail and a mocktail, it is a tasty choice for a self-serve bar scenario. Having all the ingredients available, with the recipe, allows guests to customize their cocktail. Whether they prefer vodka, gin or tequila, each different spirit changes the flavor slightly. Given the other ingredients, it is best to stick with a clear liquor versus a robust brown spirit, like bourbon or an aged rum.
Overall, the blueberry pom punch is the holiday beverage that will be warmly received by everyone. It could be people’s new seasonal sipper.
