• 1 lemon , for twists
• 2 cups ginger ale , chilled
• 1 cup pomegranate juice , chilled
• Ice cubes
• 1 cup seltzer , or more to taste

To make lemon twists for the garnish, use a vegetable peeler to remove strips of peel from the lemon, leaving as much white pith on the lemon as possible.

In a pitcher, combine the ginger ale and pomegranate juice. Fill six wine glasses with ice. Divide the liquid among the glasses, leaving room for seltzer. Pour the seltzer into each glass, to taste. Twist the peel and rub a strip on the edge of each glass. Drop the twist into the drink and serve.

Variation: Substitute dry white wine for the seltzer.
