Growing up, pomegranate molasses was a staple at our dinner table — it makes for a wonderfully tart, acidic component in salad dressings, and I've also been known to drizzle some over a bowl of olive oil or on top of hummus. Similarly, I'll eat pomegranate seeds out of a bowl with a spoon and love dipping them into melted chocolate for a sweet treat. This drink gives one of my favorite fall fruits the spritz treatment. Best of all, you don't need to stain your hands — just buy the bottled juice, I promise it works perfectly! — Oset Babür-Winter Frequently asked questions What is cinnamon sugar? Sometimes, ingredients really are exactly what their name suggests. By combining ground cinnamon and granulated sugar, you can make your own cinnamon sugar blend at home. You can also buy pre-made cinnamon sugar — we love this offering from Penzey's Spices. What can I make with cinnamon sugar? Once you've made (or bought) a jar of cinnamon sugar, a world of sweet delights is your oyster! You can use cinnamon sugar to make cinnamon-sugar churros, cinnamon roses, or these crispy cinnamon-sugar chickpeas for snacking. What is the difference between Champagne and Prosecco? Only sparkling wines produced in the Champagne region of France can be labeled as Champagne. Prosecco, on the other hand, hails from Northeastern Italy (specifically the Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia regions) and is produced from the Glera grape variety. Here's a guide to the best bottles of Prosecco to use in your next cocktail. Ingredients 1 ounce pomegranate juice (such as POM) 2 ounces Campari Prosecco (to top off) 1 teaspoon simple syrup (for garnish) 1 teaspoon cinnamon sugar (for garnish) Directions Pour simple syrup and cinnamon sugar into two shallow dishes. Gently coat the rim of the glass by dipping and turning in the simple syrup, followed by the cinnamon sugar. Add ice, pomegranate juice, and Campari to rimmed wine glass. Stir to combine. Top with Prosecco as desired. Rate It Print
