I created this drink on a chilly winter night with a mission of finding a divine pairing for Dark Chocolate Truffles. The combination of a dark bourbon and pomegranate juice with the citrus of orange and lime is quite tasty and the topping of ginger ale turns it into a refreshing lowball. PAMA can be used in place of the juice and as far as the orange liqueur goes, I highly recommend the illuminating white spirit, L'Combier, which is newly available in the US.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 oz bourbon
- 1/2 oz pomegranate juice
- 1/2 oz orange liqueur
- juice of half a lime
- 2 dashes Angostura aromatic bitters
- Ginger ale to fill
- orange wheel for garnish
Preparation:
- Build the liquors, juices and bitters in a lowball glass filled with ice.
- Stir well.
- Top with ginger ale.
- Garnish with an orange wheel.
