Instructions:
In a blender, combine pomegranate juice, honey, cayenne, ginger, lemon juice, and maca powder.
Blend on high for about 30 seconds until smooth and well combined.
Strain through a fine mesh sieve if desired for a smoother drink.
Add cold or sparkling water and stir gently.
Pour into a chilled glass and garnish with mint leaves if using. Serve immediately.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Best served fresh and cold.
If making in advance, store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
Shake or stir before serving as natural ingredients may settle.
Variations:
For a smoother drink: Skip the ginger or strain thoroughly.
Sweeter version: Add an extra teaspoon of honey or a splash of orange juice.
Mocktail twist: Serve over crushed ice with a lemon wedge and sparkling water.
Boozy boost: Add a splash of rum or vodka for an adult-only version.
