Loved this treat JanuaryBride. It was so delicious and refreshing, just packed full of flavor. I used Havana Rum and was pretty liberal with the pomegrante juice. I can't wait for after dinner so I can have another glass. Thanks for sharing. Made for ZWT7 (Witchin Kitchen)

Refreshing drink! It reminded me somewhat of a Long Island Iced Tea but not as strong. It tasted really different- the Pom juice made it have a unique flavor that was just good! I loved the lime juice in here too. Made it refreshing and citrusy. *Made for ZWT 4- South and Central America*

This tasted wonderful on a hot and muggy day. It really hit the spot! Made for Zaar World Tour 4 for the Tastebud Tickling Travellers.
