Persephone Lost

Persephone Lost is a ruby red drink featuring pomegranate and a splash of the incomparable elderflower.

Persephone was a beautiful goddess of nature, kidnapped by the admiring god of the underworld. After eating 6 pomegranate seeds, she was required to spend 6 months in the underworld every year (i.e., fall & winter), and her desolate mother causes the whole world to mourn with her.

Let’s toast to endings and the promise of spring to come!

Ingredients (makes 1 drink)

• 1/2 cup unsweetened pomegranate juice
• 2 tsp elderflower syrup
• 6 tsp lemon juice (a medium to large lemon)

Directions

1. Chill the ingredients if not already chilled
2. Add ingredients to a cocktail shaker and shake
3. Pour into a glass, using a strainer if you don’t like the pulp
4. For a little tingle and lighter flavour, add a splash of soda water

You can also use ice but this will cause a bit of dilution and require faster drinking.

Cheers!
