Ingredients:

• 2 cups of 7-Up (or any lemon-flavored soda)
• ½ cup of fresh pomegranate juice
• 3 tablespoons of fresh pomegranate seeds
• ½ lemon, sliced
• Crushed ice

Preparation:

1. Prepare the ingredients:
   • Before starting, make sure all ingredients are ready and well-chilled. You can place the ice in the freezer to crush it and have it ready for use.
2. Prepare the glasses:
   • Choose appropriate glasses for serving the drink. Place the pomegranate seeds at the bottom of each glass. You can use a small spoon to fill the glasses with pomegranate seeds neatly.
3. Add the lemon:
   • Place the lemon slices in the glasses on top of the pomegranate seeds. You can cut the lemon into thin or thick slices according to your preference. The lemon adds a tangy, refreshing flavor to the drink.
4. Add the ice:
   • Add the crushed ice to the glasses on top of the lemon slices and pomegranate seeds. Make sure to fill the glasses with crushed ice to ensure a cold and refreshing drink.
5. Prepare the drink:
   • Pour the fresh pomegranate juice over the ice in each glass. This juice gives the drink a rich pomegranate flavor and a vibrant color. Then, slowly pour the 7-Up over the pomegranate juice. This will help create a great mix of bubbles and flavors.
6. Serve:
   • Add some fresh pomegranate seeds on top of the drink as a garnish. Serve the pomegranate mojito immediately after preparation for the ultimate refreshing experience.

Additional Tips:

• Use fresh pomegranate juice: For the best flavor, use fresh pomegranate juice instead of pre-packaged juice.
• Sweetening: If you prefer a sweeter drink, you can add a teaspoon of sugar or honey to the pomegranate juice before adding it to the glasses.
• Garnishing: You can garnish the glasses with fresh mint leaves to add an aesthetic touch and extra flavor.
• Varied flavors: Try substituting the 7-Up with other flavored sodas like lemon-lime or fruit-flavored sparkling water for a different twist.
