Marissa's MediterraneanA vibrant, naturally sweetened chilled drink blending tart pomegranate with the caramel-like sweetness of dates and a hint of cooling mint.
Place the soaked dates, pomegranate juice, lemon juice, and fresh mint leaves into a high-speed blender.
Make sure to remove the pits from the dates first!
Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and the mint is finely flecked throughout.
If you prefer a perfectly clear drink, you can pour it through a fine-mesh strainer at this point.
Fill four glasses with ice and pour the blended mixture until each glass is about three-quarters full.
Top each glass with a splash of sparkling water for a bit of fizz and stir gently with a long spoon.
Garnish with an extra sprig of mint or a few fresh pomegranate arils for a vibrant look!
For a bit of extra texture and fiber, don't strain the juice! The pulp from the dates and pomegranate adds a lovely richness. If you want it even colder, blend in a handful of ice cubes. This is a great alternative to sugary sodas and is packed with antioxidants. Healthy made easy!
