It should be easy to make a good nonalcoholic cocktail but it’s actually not. Without alcohol, a cocktail needs the tart bite of citrus or it feels like you’re just drinking fruit punch. Blending pomegranate juice with freshly squeezed lime and serving it in a martini glass really delivers that sophisticated cocktail experience, even though it is zero-proof. —Ina Garten

  • Awful. I tried this for Thanksgiving and it was a flop. There is no taste to it. Sorry Ina I love you, but someone dropped the ball in this one.
