Mother’s Day Drink: Pomegranate Mule
Today is Mother’s Day in the UK. We have based our Mother’s Day drink – Pomegranate Mule – on Oprah’s favorite tipple Moscow Mule. In our version we have combined the classic Moscow Mule with fresh pomegranate juice. You can use ready-made pomegranate juice as well, but freshly pressed pomegranate juice gives this cocktail extra zing. It makes the Pomegranate Mule refreshing and not too sweet.
In honor of our own mothers, both of whom funnily enough were huge fans of Paul Anka, we have paired our Mother’s Day cocktail with Paul Anka’s Put Your Head on My Shoulder. This particular Paul Anka tune was and still is the favorite song of Kris’ mom.
Happy Mother’s Day to all Mothers!

I recommend using fresh pomegranate juice for the extra delish taste. It’s a bit of a hassle make make it, but it makes the Pomegranate Mule taste so fresh. I do have to confess that I mostly make this cocktail with the store bought pomegranate juice…
