Notes
Hydrate with water between each cocktail!
Chill vodka in the freezer for extra cold cocktails.
If you don't want a sugar rim, try adding simple syrup (1/2 tsp sugar dissolved in equal parts hot water) to the cocktail.
If you don't have pomegranate juice, use cranberry or cherry juice.
If you don't have lemon juice, lime juice will work.
