In a mixing glass, pour the pomegranate juice and add the elderflower cordial (if using). Spoon in the grated ginger.
Use a muddler to press down on the ginger, releasing its juices and allowing them to mix with the pomegranate juice. Stir the mixture to combine the flavors.
Place a fine strainer over your serving glass and pour the muddled pomegranate and ginger mixture through the strainer to remove any solid bits.
Top the strained mixture with sparkling water, adding ice if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing and spicy flavors of this mocktail.
Notes
Pro Tips
For a stronger ginger flavor, you can increase the amount of grated ginger or let the mixture sit for a few minutes before straining.
Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less elderflower cordial or a touch of honey if desired.
Garnish with pomegranate arils or a twist of lemon peel for an extra touch of elegance.
