Pom-Lime French 75 Cocktail

Gin
Author: Ashifa Bano
A glass of red cocktail with mint, lime, and a straw sits on a wooden bar, with string lights and a blurred background behind it.

Equal parts tart and sweet, with a touch of effervescence - this gin-based cocktail gets a seasonal spin with the addition of pomegranate. Made with Tanqueray No 10 gin, this vibrant red drink is a well-balanced interplay of flavour- allowing the botanical notes from the liquor to be spotlighted with the use of fresh ingredients.
