Holiday Spiced Pomegranate Liqueur Recipe

Recipe updated November 19th 2024.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of Vodka or Everclear
• 3/4 cup organic sugar (see notes)
• 1 cup of filtered room-temperature water
• 5 pomegranates, reserve pods & juice
• 1 large cinnamon stick
• 1 lemon- reserve peel & juice
• 1 orange- reserve peel & juice
• 1 vanilla bean- reserve seeds
• 2-3 cloves (optional)

Notes:

1. You can use more or less sugar depending on how sweet you would like your liqueur.

2. Removing the pods from the pomegranate can be a pain and messy! Please read my recipe notes here for that step under “preparing the pomegranates” click here.

3. Although the technical term for pomegranate seeds is “arils” I use the term pods in my recipe.

Directions:

1. Remove pods from pomegranates, and reserve the juice & pods in a large bowl. See notes for removing the pods. Set juice and pods aside in a medium bowl. (Make sure to throw away the rind and skin of the pomegranates.
2. Whisk the vodka, sugar, and water together in a bowl. Add to the pomegranate juice & pods.
3. Prepare the lemon and orange peel, and add the peels & juice of both fruits to the pomegranate juice. Add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl. Give the mixture a good stir to combine ingredients and pour into a large glass jar.
4. Seal the jar, and make sure you store it in a cool dark place. Swirl the mixture daily, making sure the ingredients are well combined.
5. Steep for 40 days, or until you have achieved the desired flavor.
6. After the mixture has infused for 40 days, strain the liquid using a mesh cloth or fine strainer. Place the liquid into a sterile glass jar with a lid.

Happy holidays!
