If you have never had pomegranate juice, you are missing out! It has wonderful flavor and is loaded with Vitamin C, anti-oxidants, fiber, folate, and even cancer fighting properties. The juice does contain a bit of sugar so just keep an eye on that for certain diets. Pomegranates are great for your heart health and can even help support joint health.

You can make the drink extra festive with a sugar rim. To make one just squeeze a small amount of lime juice in a small bowl or on a plate. Then place the sugar on a second one. Dip the cup or glass into the lime juice, then into the sugar. Don’t forget to garnish with fresh mint!

You can even freeze cranberries and fresh mint into ice cubes! Just fill an ice cube tray with cranberries and mint leaves. Then pour near-boiling water on top and place in the freezer. Using boiling water instead of room temperature or cold water. Why do that? You will get clearer ice cubes!
