Basically this happened when I was making a sauce for duck, weirdly enough! I had a big handful of leftover pomegranate seeds and a bottle of cassis.
The rest just fell into place.

FAQ's
Can I use a different type of alcohol instead of vodka in the Pomegranate and blackcurrant smoothie?
Yes, you can substitute vodka with another clear spirit that has a neutral flavor profile, such as white rum or gin. The choice of alcohol can alter the flavor slightly, so pick one that complements the fruity notes of the smoothie.
What are some recommended garnishes for the Pomegranate and blackcurrant smoothie?
A slice of lemon or lime on the rim of the glass, a few pomegranate seeds floated on top, or a sprig of fresh mint can enhance the visual appeal and add a fresh aroma to the cocktail.
What is the best way to serve the Pomegranate and blackcurrant smoothie to preserve its flavors and cold temperature?
Serve the smoothie in a chilled highball glass immediately after mixing. You can also add a few ice cubes or crushed ice to keep it cold longer without diluting the flavors too quickly.
How does the alcohol content of the Pomegranate and blackcurrant smoothie compare to more traditional cocktails?
With an alcohol content of 25.33%, the Pomegranate and blackcurrant smoothie has a higher alcohol concentration than many traditional cocktails, which typically range from 10% to 20% alcohol by volume (ABV). It's a stronger option for those who prefer a more potent drink.
Is there a non-alcoholic version of the Pomegranate and blackcurrant smoothie, and what ingredients would it include?
Yes, you can make a non-alcoholic version of this cocktail by substituting the vodka and Creme De Cassis with blackcurrant juice or syrup and a bit of lemon or lime juice to balance the sweetness. This variation provides a similar fruity flavor profile without the alcohol.
