Notes

• You may adjust the sweetness by adding about 0.5 of simple syrup while shaking the mix.
• In the recipe, you may substitute 3 oz of Pomegranate mixer with 1.5 oz of Pomegranate mixer and 1.5 oz of Peach Bellini to create a delicious drink called Pomegranate Blossom. All other ingredients remain the same.
• Substitute vodka with an equal amount of fruit juice, such as lemon juice, orange juice, or apple juice, for the nonalcoholic versions like pomegranate mocktails. 
• You can even add a splash of triple sec (Cointreau) if you feel the martini is on the sour side. 
• 1 oz means 2 tbsp.
