Sparkling Pomegranate Mocktail

It is nice to have something festive to toast with on New Years Eve. Yet not everyone wants to drink alcohol or perhaps keep it kid friendly, mocktails (or non-alcoholic cocktails) are a good option.  Plus they are just as tasty if you choose the right ingredients.  I prefer real fruit juices with sparkling water, add a bit of stevia to keep it light and not into an unhealthy sugar bomb.  The recipe I am sharing with you today uses heart healthy pomegranate juice and cleansing citrus. It has the opposite effect of alcohol, instead being healthy for your body.  No need to feel guilty about drinking this! Cheers!
