Pomegranate Cocktails Always a Party Pleaser!

You simply can't have a Daily Buzz Launch Party without fun, fancy drinks!

Pomegranate martinis are so 2006. That's why we're (virtually, of course) mixing up these chic Sparkling Pomegranate Cocktails from Cooking Light. I can't imagine getting our required daily dose of antioxidants in any other way.

To make: combine 2 cups pomegranate juice, 1.5 cups lemon-flavored sparkling water, and 1/2 cup berry-flavored or plain vodka in a pitcher. Pour into ice-filled champagne flutes or vintage highball glasses and garnish with lemon rind strips. It's the perfect fall cocktail!

Not drinking? Not a problem! Just mix one part pomegranate juice to two parts sparkling water.

About the author Kim Conte

has shoes that make people stop her on the street and ask "Where did you get those?" but it doesn't work for taxi cabs as she was hit by one ... and lived to tell the tale. She has more freckles than Lohan but way less attitude. And she's a fierce cook with tons of recipes to share -- and wishes she could share some with Bourdain.
