Pomegranate cocktail

For the alcoholic version: cut the pomegranate in half and extract the grains. Squeeze the seeds with a potato masher or a vegetable mill to obtain the juice. Pour into a shaker the sugar syrup and the juice of 7 limes, fill with ice and add the vodka, then shake for about 1 minute. Mix well and serve.
For the non-alcoholic version: cut the pomegranate in half and extract the grains. Squeeze the seeds with a potato masher or a vegetable mill to obtain the juice. Pour it into a shaker with ice, lime juice, tonic water and brown sugar. Shake for about 1 minute and pour into 4 glasses. Decorate with a few sprigs of fresh thyme and serve.

You can prepare Christmas cocktails in advance and store them in the blast chiller with the function "holding", so you can serve them fresh at the time of the toast.
