Persephone’s Smash: pomegranate mint mocktail

Journey to the underworld with me where we will sip the juice of fruit from warmer climes and wait for spring. Worry not, it is hell, so there is Facebook and CrossFit and Persephone’s Smash: pomegranate mint mocktail.

I was going to make this a booze-or-not-tail but when all the muddling was done I was enjoying just as it was, tangy sweet with hints of citrus and mint, exactly what I crave in a mocktail.

Looking for a variation with gin? Try this.
