We’ve talked about the health benefits of Pomegranate juice before. Here’s a fun way to celebrate the end of summer and get your pomegranate juice as well, courtesy of the folks at POM:

POM Julep

1 oz. freshly squeezed pomegranate juice* or
POM Wonderful® 100% Pomegranate Juice
1 1/2 oz. vodka
1 1/2 oz. grapefruit juice

one part hot water and stir to dissolve, cool)
4 mint leaves, mint sprig for garnish

Directions:
Bruise 4 mint leaves in bar mixing glass with honey syrup. Add remaining ingredients and shake over ice. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass up, or over ice. Garnish with fresh mint sprig.
