Pomegranate and Tamarind Spritz

Pomegranate and Tamarind Spritz

By OcadoLifePublished on 18 July 2024For a fruity fire-and-fizz combo, mix yourself this Pomegranate and Tamarind Spritz from recipe writer and supper clubber Sophie Wyburd. “This is a level up from the usual summer spritz. It balances sweet, sour and spicy in the most magical, refreshing way. You can add leftover chilli sugar syrup to a salad dressing for sweetness and heat.”

Ingredients

  • 50g caster sugar
  • 0.5 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
  • 50ml spicy tamarind vodka
  • 50ml pomegranate juice
  • 50ml prosecco
  • 150ml (approx.) soda water, to top up
  • 2 slices lime, to garnish

Method

  • Step 1

    In a small pan, gently heat the sugar, chilli and 50ml water for about 5 mins, until the sugar has dissolved and you have a viscous syrup. Pour into a jug and leave to cool for 10 mins.

  • Step 2

    Add lots of ice to a large wine glass. Pour in the vodka, pomegranate juice and 15ml of the syrup. Give it a stir, then pour in the prosecco (stirring the still ingredients before pouring in the sparkling ones ensures the flavours mix consistently through the cocktail without affecting how fizzy it is).

  • Step 3

    Top up with soda water, add the lime slices and serve. Leftover syrup will keep for 1 week in an airtight container in the fridge, or store in the freezer for up to 3 months.

  • Step 4

    Recipe Tip: Allow some extra time for cooling.
