Coffee, Grapefruit and Pomegranate Mocktail

AFTER Magazine founder and editor Nicole Hough shares her beautifully hued and sophisticated coffee grapefruit, and pomegranate mocktail in time for the holidays.

This page may contain affiliate links.

The inspiration for this mocktail came from a few sources: the unexpected flavors of twist of lemon served with an espresso in Italy, the beautiful red of pomegranate that tells me the holidays are here, and the over arching goal I’ve been pursuing of creating something a little bit more adult and unexpected to enjoy with friends this holiday season.  

The result is a slightly sweet (but not too much) and complex mocktail with hints of bitterness and a tangy finish.  
I hope you’ll try it and let me know what you think!
