We dont have snowdays in Las Vegas but the temperatures can get quite chilly and this drink is just so warming for those days. Few Tips and Tricks
Pomegranate Juice - Since we are already using ginger syrup, it is best to use unsweetened pomegranate juice. You can also use fresh homemade pomegranate juice. Choose in season fruit that is naturally sweet. Citrus - I use fresh squeezed orange juice(pulp and all) in my recipe. Since pomegranate juice is already tart, you do not need a lot but citrus does add a lot of brightness to this drink so please do not skip. You can use lemon juice or blood orange juice as well. Sweetness - We like the slushie on a sweeter side so I use 1 cup of syrup. You can cut down to ¾ cup if you wish. Consumption - It is best to serve the slushies as soon as you make them. Since these are blended frozen drinks, they cannot be made ahead else they will be watery.
