pomegranate cosmopolitan

this little treat has a slightly heavier taste than the normal cranberry-based cosmo. we've been on a pomegranate kick, so this seemed right for a sunday afternoon.

1 oz. tito's handmade vodka
1 oz. paula's orange
1/4 oz. freshly squeezed lime juice
1/4 oz. freshly squeezed orange juice
1 1/2 oz. (or more) pomegranate juice

best with a nice slice of orange and 5-6 ice cubes.

orange mojito

there's probably another name for this, but it came out rather good, so here 'tis:

crush up fresh mint sprigs
1 shot of creole (or even light) rum
1/2 shot of paula's orange liqueur
fill the rest of the glass sprite (to taste)
squeeze a wedge of fresh orange or tangerine juice

pour over ice cubes into a parfait glass and drop in a cross-section of an orange. sip and enjoy!
