How To Make The Ginger Syrup

Slice the ginger without peeling it.
Add water, sugar, cinnamon stick and ginger to a small saucepan.
Place over medium heat until it boils. Once the mixture boils, reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
Allow to cool completely before preparing the cocktail.

Orange juice is being poured into a glass pitcher, placed on a wooden slab. A small, frosted pinecone and a white sphere are beside the pitcher. The background is a textured light surface.

For the Juices:

Juice 3 oranges and 1 grapefruit in a juicer.
Squeeze the juice of 1 pomegranate, if using fresh pomegranate.
Strain the citrus juice so that there is no residue of the fruit.

In a jug or shaker, mix the vodka, liqueur, and citrus juices. Add more vodka if needed to your taste.

Assemble the Cocktail Shots

Choose a shot glass. Add a tablespoon of the ginger syrup.
Add ¼ cup or a little more of the vodka with the citrus juice mixture.
Finally, add a teaspoon or two of pomegranate juice.

How much to add depends on the glass you’ve chosen. Just be sure to add a little of everything in each glass.

Before drinking the cocktail, stir with the cinnamon stick.

Serve unstirred. I think it looks pretty to see all the different colors in the glass.

How To Make A Pitcher

Simply add all the ingredients to a pitcher and stir. Serve and top with a cinnamon stick. It won’t have the colorful effect but still delicious.
