What a terrific drink this is Sue. I enjoyed this very much. It was quick and easy to make, excellent tasting, pretty and best of all it uses ingredients that i always have on hand. Thank you so much for sharing, this sweet, tart, tangy, flowery treat. I loved it. Into my Favorites Cookbook for 2013 this goes. Kudos to you.

I am drinking this tasty beverage even as I type this! I scaled it down to one serving and didn't really measure anything, just "eyeballed" it. The orange blossom water really puts it over the top. Thanks so much for sharing this, I will be making it again the next time pomegranate juice goes on sale!

Yummy!! I really enjoyed it & it's quite easy to mix. The orange blossom water can be a challenge to find in Sonoma / Napa area without going into San Raphael, but Whole Spice at Oxbow Market came through for me. I made one very small adjustment; instead of 1/4 cup sugar, I used 1/2 tbl spoon of Raspberry Sugar and the rest refined sugar. <br/><br/>Only one hesitation when recommending this beverage... if the intened audience is not a real fan of pomegranate, this drink will not convert them. Save this tasty creation for those who appreciate such a special fruit!
