The perfect holiday drink, these Virgin Pomegranate and Cranberry Bellinis are filled with flavor and are super easy to add to your drink menu.
I don’t drink alcohol, but that’s no reason to not have any fun, “fancy” drinks!! We really just mostly drink water here, but I thought it would be fun to make a fun drink with some of the POM juice that I’ve been making recipes with. And I’m glad that I did, because this is delicious! This would be great for a holiday dinner or for a celebration – and both kids and adults would love it!

This is the perfect beverage to serve friends at lunch. In the evening, though, we might go for the real thing!

This sounds perfect! I love cranberry juice and am currently pregnant…so, I feel left out when everyone else in the family is mixing a drink. I think I will take this one to our next Sunday dinner. Thanks!

I just found you through the comment you left on dealseekingmom. I told my husband that he can have The Food Network I want Taste and Tell. We don't drink alcohol either but we LOVE to make fun drinks. Where is the recipe for the cookies shown on your blog title?

Those sound so festive and tasty! I wonder if they would be good with a little vodka added for the friends who want a summery drink?
