solstice - vodka, pomegranate, orange, lemon

[AlaMoi]

DW had this at a resto - and liked it.  only the first mixed drink she's ever liked . . . .

 

the title is how it appears on their drinks card.

I looked up solstice - had no idea the solar solstice was such and knee walking event!!

all kinds of things concocted.

 

the closest I found to this combo uses orange liqueur (such as Cointreau) - silly me, I assumed it would be orange juice...

 

any opinions on the orange and (?) lemon juice

ideas on proportions also welcome!

 

ps:  I'm a mixed drink dummy - ice is about the only I use.....

Found one called Winter Solstice that looks close to those ingredients.

thanks - is it the general opinion the reference to "orange" is an orange liqueur?

(vs. 'orange juice'? - that's not on the shelf, 'nuther trip to the state store....)

 

appreciate the link - proportions in less than "cups of" work better for me.

 

the lemon/lime juice/twist I see as variations on a theme -
