Pomegranate Moscow Mules – a refreshing twist on traditional Moscow Mules made with PAMA Pomegranate Liqueur!
Every now and then, I just get the urge to do something spontaneous. Something fun. Something out of the ordinary. Especially in summer! The days are longer, the weather is beautiful, and the same old schedule starts to feel a little bit boring….don’t you think? This past weekend we invited some neighbors over for an impromptu bonfire, and it was a blast! We roasted marshmallows, had some drinks, and talked all night long while the kids played in the backyard. It felt easy, fun, and spontaneous….and it definitely got me thinking about what we should do next.
I feel like these are the type of days when everyone is up for a party….especially if someone else is hosting. And lucky for everyone else, I love to host. And even more so when I’m feeling inspired! I recently fell in love with PAMA Pomegranate Liqueur, and after mixing it with ALL my favorite drinks, I’d definitely say I’m feeling inspired. It’s sweet, tart, and complex in flavor….and when it comes to color, it couldn’t be prettier. It adds the perfect touch to any drink, but my personal favorite is this Pomegranate Moscow Mule.
Have you had a Moscow Mule? It’s basically vodka, lime juice, and ginger beer, which is delicious all on its own….but in my opinion, SO much better with a splash of PAMA! You better believe the next party I throw will include a big pitcher (or 3!) of them. And while we’re on the topic of parties, don’t you think it would be fun to run with the pomegranate theme? Deep red decor? Fun pomegranate recipes? A relay race with pomegranate seeds on a spoon? And, of course, plenty of PAMA to go around?
Are you with me?? Well, you’re in luck. And not just because I’ll be hosting….but because you can, too! PAMA is hosting a Celebrate Summer Contest and giving away $250 and $500 party kits to the lucky winners! For complete rules and to enter, visit the PAMA Celebrate Summer Contest page! And then…..go buy yourself some PAMA…..because you’re going to want one of these Pomegranate Moscow Mules….stat!!!

I got this cute little copper cup from WS last year that is meant for a mule drink, but haven’t used it. I think it’s time to break it in! I’m so thirsty now.

These look so refreshing and good – perfect for a Summer BBQ! Thanks for sharing! BTW Having the hardest time commenting your blog from my phone (which I’m usually on). So just know I’m still reading but can’t always comment – especially on these super crazy Summer days! xo
Cathy Trochelman says
Awwww, thanks Jess 🙂 Is it the ads that are getting in the way on your phone? I feel like mobile + ads don’t mix well. But ohmygosh, no worries. You are such an amazing support whether you’re commenting or not. Hugs to you, my friend!!!

You can get a smooth skin by acquiring the right information and with proper guidance you would be
amazed at the texture of your skin. Wash your skin one
or two times everyday with an oil-free mild soap cleanser.
Another habit you have to apply is avoiding touching your face
especially with dirty hands because you may transfer bacteria which may cause acne.
