Ginger and pomegranate are made for each other, and the color of this beverage is tantalizing. If you're looking for a nonalcoholic option, you can easily leave out the vodka for a delicious and festive drink! —Tara Deshpande, New York, New York

Test Kitchen Tips
  • Monin makes a ginger-flavored syrup. Look for it near the coffee syrups.
  • Or make your own by combining 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup water and sliced peeled fresh ginger (from a 2-in. piece). Bring to a boil. Cool completely, then strain out solids. Refrigerate up to 2 weeks.
