Directions

15 min.

1. Step

The day before serving the punch, place the pomegranate pieces in a small saucepan. Nestle the lime slices between the pomegranate pieces and along the sides of the saucepan. Add enough water to cover the fruit. Place in the freezer until solid.

2. Step

Combine the pomegranate juice, rum, lime juice, simple syrup, and orange bitters in a 5-cup container. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, about 3 hours.

3. Step

When ready to serve, transfer the rum mixture to a 3-1/-quart punch or serving bowl. Gently stir in the sparkling wine (do not overmix or your punch will be flat).

4. Step

To remove the ice block from the saucepan, dip the pan in hot water or heat it over the flame on a stovetop burner until the ice block releases. Float it in the punch and serve immediately.
