Making Cocktails at Discount Wine Cellars

Pomegranate juice is supposed to be a wonderful antioxidant. This juice is certainly flavorful, and strong like cranberry juice or red grape juice. It also forms a great base for a wine cocktail. What wine does the antioxidant qualities of the juice, who knows, but this isn't a health and nutrition blog.
For the core drink I combined equal amounts of ice, pomegranate juice and White Zinfadel. No sugar. I'm not fond of very sweet drinks. I would suggest, however, that a berry honey would go nicely if you like that sort of thing(strawberry for instance). Hack's Raw Honey in Silver Creek, near Salmon Arm, is beautiful and comes in many varieties. Surely there is something comparable in the States? Combine all ingredients and blend to crush ice and to be sure the ingredients are well mixed. On a hot day, just camp out in your wine cellar with one of these.
Other secondary ingredients one could add are mint (soak fresh leaves in the mixture then take out before adding to the ice and blending), lemon juice, or a teaspoon of sugar. I find this to be a refreshing summer drink, but think I would prefer the red variety of Zinfadel for a stronger, richer winter drink.
Garnish with a sprig of mint or a lemon slice, both of which I consider to be necessary accessories to store in your wine cocktail supply cupboard.
