Pomegranate & Lime White Wine Spritzer
Ok ladies and gentleman. It’s now day eight of The Twelve Boozy Days of Christmas. To the table today I brought Pomegranate & Lime White Wine Spritzer.
You will not be disappointed with this drink. It’s fizzy (always a plus!), full of antioxidants (hello pomegranate!), and of course, includes a little booze. White wine to be exact. Ok. So it’s not the super hard stuff but who cares. You could still put back a few of these and pay for it in the morning….right?
The other thing I really like about this drink is that it’s pretty. That’s a good reason to want to drink it….
Agree?
Taken with Instagram….not to shabby!

Prettiness is definitely a good reason for wanting to consume something. Love the sound of this – and isn’t Instagram a marvel?

fizzy, boozy and delicious – yes please
I’m completely swayed by how pretty this is. I love it! And the colors are perfect for Christmas. Have one of these waiting for me when I come visit you someday, please and thank you
My first thought when I saw these pictures was, “I HOPE she’s sharing these on Foodgawker!” I just checked, you are

Fizzy is my weakness and I am only recently enjoying white wine. Yum!
Now THIS is my kind of drink! Love the fresh flavors!
How refreshing! Very festive.
Sounds so refreshing and love that it’s red and green – so festive! Wish I had one right now
I’m adding a splash of pomegranate to this drink and serving at as the signature drink at my wedding and calling it “Blushing Bride”

I love that! Thank you for telling me
Congratulation on your upcoming wedding!
This looks fantastic and I can’t wait to try it this holiday season! Our guests will be impressed
It is so pretty looking!
Pomegranate isn’t something I usually eat, so is there a trick to getting the pomegranate seeds out? Sorry, probably a dumb question
Just never used one before for anything!
Also, did you use any specific type of white wine? I’m partial to Reisling, but wondering if one tastes better with the drink?
Thanks again for posting!

Hi LaVon! Thank you for all your kind comments
The easiest way to get pomegranate seeds out of the fruit is by cutting into quarters, fill a bowl with water and put one quarter at a time under the water. Gently run your fingers into the fruit seeds and the seeds should start falling out and sinking to the bottom of the bowl. After you are done just skim the top of the water (there will be little white things floating, don’t worry, it’s from the part of the fruit that was holding in the seeds) and drain your seeds. It sounds a little complicated but I assure you it’s super easy and can be done in under 15 minutes 
For the wine I like a nice unoaked Chardonnay or a Pinot Grigio. The seeds can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week in the fridge.
just stumbled across your blog– can’t wait to try it!
This is so pretty and looks so refreshing!!
Is this better with a dryer or a sweeter wine? I’m using this for a lady who loves riesling.

I like an unoaked Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio. However, I think Riesling would work if you really enjoyed sweet wine.
actually the Best way to get Pomegranate seeds out is to cut in half , turn upside down in your hand, spread your fingers and hit the back of Pomegranate hard with wooden spoon or something solid !!
