POM Sorbet Spritzer


This is only my second post this week... I can't believe that. But then again I can believe it, because I've been pretty busy. I'm back on the schedule full time, waiting tables, and it's been really busy lately because of spring break.
And once again I'm falling behind on reading all my blogs. I'm disgusted with myself. However, I've been going to sleep earlier, and I have to say, it's been quite nice. I feel well rested and I have energy! Or that could be the multiple shots of espresso I've been drinking every day.



So the POM people contacted me a week or so ago, and asked me if I wanted a sample of POM. I was like, are you kidding me?! YES! I love POM. It's the best juice in the whole world. It's so delicious and good for you, and it's great to cook and bake with. There is a lot of information on their website and blog, so you should definitely check it out and learn about all of the benefits of POM.

They sent me a CASE of pomegranate juice in the mail.. as soon as I received the package, I ripped open the box, grabbed a bottle and started chugging it. That's not a joke.

I considered baking with some of the POM, and I might still do that, but I really just like drinking the juice. One of my favorite ways to drink it is in a cocktail. I took the POM, put it into my ice cream maker, and make a sorbet, JUST using the juice itself. You don't need anything else!


Turns out POM is hard to photograph. Silly POM and your shiny, reflective bottle.

Then scoop little balls of sorbet into your wine glasses and top with champagne... nothing too dry. And that's it! No recipe required.


I went champagne shopping at Dillons, and what a mistake that was. I'm never shopping at Dillons again. I walked into the liquor section and was immediately escorted out by a mean, feeble-looking woman security guard, because I was shopping with someone that didn't have his ID. So they lost my business. I then went to Price Cutter and bought my champagne.
Soooo ridiculous! You don't want my money, Dillons?! Fine, I'll let someone else have it.

Anyway, that's all I have for today. Make this POM sorbet spritzer this weekend and celebrate the arrival of spring!

  13. Ooooh lucky! I love pom~ I use it in smoothies, but once made Pomegranate ice cream with it...yum! I've also drank it mixed with orange juice. And I made granola for the first time yesterday, but next I think I'm going to try yours next (i'm a bit behind on reading too... [not to mention posting myself. ahem])

    Congrats on Top Chef? Maybe?

    ReplyDelete

  19. LOL..I also chuggged one upon receiving the case (love that they kept them cold with ice packs)! I LOVE what you did with it - it looks so wonderfully refreshing! I came up with two recipes, and now I have to play around with them and bring in my taste testers prior to posting the recipes and photos - decisions, decisions..

    ReplyDelete

  27. How delightfully refreshing! You know, I don't think that stuff lasts forever, so get creating....

    ReplyDelete

  28. I've never tried POM, I've been meaning to. Maybe they will send me a free sample... ;)

    ReplyDelete

  29. This is the first spritzer I've seen with this stuff, looks good! Take a break, no big deal. Sleep is a good thing!

    ReplyDelete

  30. Don't worry. No one holds the non-blogging against you. I've been slow with posting for an even worse reason - I just haven't make any interesting recipes lately!

    This is a great idea. I'm beginning to think I should do this for an intermezzo at my next dinner party.

  31. That looks so lovely - beautiful color! And I bet the tart POM goes so nicely with sweet champagne. Yummy!!

    ReplyDelete

  32. That spritzer looks mighty refreshing.

    ReplyDelete

  33. This is awesome- POM and champagne is one of my favorite champagne cocktails! I like the idea of the "bubbles" of sorbet floating in the bubbly champagne.

    ReplyDelete

  34. yummm. pom makes really good juice!

    ReplyDelete

  35. Yum! I am so thankful for spring...

    ReplyDelete

  37. i hate it when stores are like that! this looks awesome :)

    ReplyDelete

  39. What a fantastic idea! POM really is amazing, so delicious! I like using it in muffins though too :)

    ReplyDelete

  40. That does look so great! I'm reading your blog pre-coffee too so I think I could chug a bottle of Pom right now! In WA, they only sell liquor in state approved liquor stores. Coming from CA where each grocery store had it's own stock, we kind of think it's funny.

  41. How fun!! I love pomegranate juice in drinks, but am over the whole pom martini thing. This is a great update!

    ReplyDelete

  42. Wow Emily, I am sold! I love pomegranate, and your drink is an absolute thing to try in summer.
    Cheers,

    ReplyDelete

  45. This sounds awesome and fresh- perfect for 100 degree Texas weather. :)

  46. The champagne looks so refreshing!
    I have never heard of being escorted out of a liquor store for not having ID. Weird.

  48. What a terrific way to enjoy Pom!! I need to try this!

    ReplyDelete

  49. Whoa this looks so good! I can't wait to try it out once I get this baby out of me in July! I guess I could try it with some Sprite until then...

    ReplyDelete

  51. Oh dear! I didn't take those POM people up on their offer, and now I'm thinking I should have. Eeeeek! I just tend to avoid all these advertizing gimmicks. Oh hum.

    ReplyDelete

  53. These sound just like spring! I love pomengranate juice. I made a reduction with it once for something--maybe for pork? Hm. I don't remember what it was for, but the reduction sure was tasty!

    ReplyDelete

  54. Just found your blog on Luigi's Pizza menu! I'm thinking about ordering your sausage and pepper pizza tonight for the MU game! Can't wait to read more and REALLY can't wait to try these!!!
