Happy Hour Drink Special: Two with Pomegranate 7 UP
In an earlier post, I talked about the new limited edition Pomegranate 7 Up, and wondered about trying it in various drinks. Well, the friendly folks at 7 Up and Cadbury Schweppes Americas Beverages (thanks Lisa), were nice enough to send two recipes along: the Triple Scoop Pomegranate 7 Up Soda and the Mistletoe Mojito. Both look delicious, so I suggest you pick up a six-pack of Pomegranate 7 Up and a few other ingredients on your way home tonight.

1 ounce fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon superfine sugar
8 fresh mint leaves
2 ounces white rum

1. In a highball glass, muddle lime juice, sugar, and mint leaves until sugar is dissolved.
2. Add rum and pomegranate seeds. Fill glass with ice and top with Pomegranate 7 Up.

Pomegranate 7-Up? In my day, that was called a Shirley Temple.
