Pomegranate Sparkling Coffee

Pomegranate Sparkling Coffee

Ingredients

1 Starbucks® Holiday Blend K-Cup®

1/4 cup pomegranate seeds (or 2 Tbsp pomegranate juice)

3 Tbsp homemade vanilla syrup (or storebought)

1/4 cup lemon-lime soda

Ice

Decorating or coarse sugar (optional garnish)

Rosemary sprig (optional garnish)

 

Directions

  1. Brew coffee. Place in the refrigerator (or freezer) to chill.
  2. Pour vanilla syrup onto a shallow plate. On a separate plate, pour decorating or coarse sugar. Rim a 16-oz glass in sugar by dampening the rim with vanilla syrup and then dipping the glass into sugar.
  3. Place pomegranate seeds in the bottom of the rimmed glass. Muddle to release juices. Stir in vanilla syrup. (If using pomegranate juice, simply add to glass with vanilla syrup. Stir to combine)
  4. Fill the glass 1/2 full of crushed ice.
  5. Add a layer of lemon-lime soda until the glass is 2/3 full. (If using pomegranate juice, top with less lemon-lime soda—about 3 Tbsp)
  6. Top with chilled coffee. Garnish with rosemary if desired.
