Freshly pressed pomegranate juice is essential to the success of this deliciously fruity but dry Daiquiri. Sadly, packaged juice doesn't produce a cocktail...
Best to cut pomegranates in half (around the equator rather than pole to pole) then squeeze in a pillar juicer - then juicing them is surprisingly easy and efficient.
100% agreement! Our backyard pomegranate is very productive this year and we just spent the afternoon picking and juicing and the pillar juicer is by far the easiest (and least messy!) method.
