Pomegranate Martini

This cocktail always goes down more smoothly with fresh ingredients. You can make the simple sugar in bigger batches and have it ready to go for a party. Be ready to adjust amount to taste since some prefer a less sweet cocktail. Experiment with different juices until you find one you love.
