Ingredients

• Ginger Beer – Adds a spicy, bubbly flavor that makes this drink so refreshing. I love Fever Tree’s Ginger Beer, it has a richness that adds so much to this mocktail.

• Ice – Keeps the drink extra cold and refreshing.

How to Make This Easy Mocktail

Step 1 – Coat the Edge of the Glass

Pour a little agave syrup or honey onto a small plate and add sugar to another plate. Turn the glass upside down and dip the edge of the glass into the agave or honey until coated, then dip it into the sugar so the edge is covered with a sweet sugary coating.

Step 2 – Add the Ingredients

Pour in the lemonade and pomegranate juice. Top the drink with ginger beer and gently stir everything together. Add ice and serve.

Step 3 – Garnish and Serve

Serve immediately with lemon slices, pomegranate seeds, fresh mint or chamomile flower if desired.

Tips for the Best Ginger Beer Mocktail

• Chill all the ingredients before making the drink so it stays cold longer.
• Add the ginger beer last to keep the bubbles fizzy.
• Use fresh lemonade for the brightest flavor.
• Garnish with mint, citrus slices, or pomegranate arils for a pretty presentation.

Variations

This easy mocktail recipe is so versatile and fun to customize.

• Add sparkling water for a lighter version.
• Use limeade instead of lemonade for a tangier flavor.
• Add fresh raspberries or strawberries for a fruity twist.
• Make it festive during the holidays with rosemary sprigs and cranberries.

Frequently Asked Questions

Want to Turn This Mocktail Into a Cocktail?

This ginger beer drink is also delicious with a splash of alcohol if you want to make it into a cocktail for parties or gatherings. Since the flavors are citrusy, fruity, and bubbly, there are a few liquors that pair especially well with the lemonade and pomegranate juice.

• Vodka – Keeps the drink light and crisp without changing the flavor too much.
• Rum – Adds a slightly tropical and sweet flavor that tastes amazing with the ginger beer.
• Bourbon – Gives the drink a warmer, richer flavor with a little depth from the ginger.
• Gin – Adds a fresh botanical flavor that pairs nicely with the citrus notes.

I recommend starting with about 1 to 1½ ounces of alcohol per drink and adjusting to your taste. This recipe is super versatile, so it’s easy to make both a mocktail and cocktail version for guests.
