Fall brings out some of the best in what California has to offer.
Apples, Pomegranates, Persimmons, just to name a few!
This family-friendly drink is super simple to make and very satisfying. The ingredients are immune boosting, energizing our bodies for the holidays and inevitable flu season. It’s lovely served in a glass pitcher so you can see the beautiful floating additions to the juice.
I love the basil addition, too!
It adds a subtle earthy flavor that is perfect for your holiday gatherings.
Look at that beauty! Let’s get started….
Simply add the sliced apples and pomegranate arils to the bottom of a glass pitcher. You can also add the basil leaves at this time, too.
Fill the pitcher with ice and add the basil, if you haven’t already done so, and apple juice.
Add in the pomegranate juice and lemon-lime soda and stir well to combine.
Serve and enjoy!
