We love a seasonal booze launch and we also love a scene-stealing bottle to level up our drinks cabinet; this new limited edition launch from Cîroc is both. The vodka brand has just revealed Cîroc Pomegranate, a festive winter tipple do delight over the winter months.
Distilled from fine French grapes, the new edition is infused with fruity pomegranate and red berries with hints of sweet strawberry, offering an alternative to many of the creamy or spiced festive drinks.
And we have to admit a large part of the appeal is the stunning red and gold bottle, it's just so striking. If you have a drinks trolley or cabinet just imagine how Christmassy and eye-catching this would be, pride of place. You'll want to keep it there even once the bottle's empty.
Cîroc Pomegranate can be enjoyed on the rocks, but the makers also suggest creating a spritz with soda water garnished with pomegranate seed and a sprig of rosemary, or with cranberry juice and a lime garnish as the 'Passion'. If you want to go all out, add grenadine, sparkling wine and a lemon twist for the 'Jewel'. We've included all the recipes below.
Remember it's only here over winter, so don't miss your chance to try it.
CÎROC Pomegranate 70cl will be available from October 2021. Stockist: Amazon.com, Thebar.com and getitinkd.com (personalisation available).RRP £35.90
