Persephone's Tears

ABOUT

This pomegranate based cocktail derives its name from an ancient Greek myth as rich as its fruity flavor. Read more on the tragic tale of the Greek goddess Persephone here.

The base spirit for this drink is Naked Grouse, a Blended Malt Scotch whisky from the Famous Grouse brand of spirits. Naked Grouse gets its rich and fruity flavor from aging a blend of notable single malt whiskies in never before used casks — hence the name Naked. These flavors pair well with freshly squeezed pomegranate juice, simple syrup as a sweetener, and lime juice to balance the drink.

This simple, must-have winter cocktail is best served up. A lime wedge garnish is optional.
