The Pome-Apple Crisp mocktail is all about balance and restraint. It blends orchard fruit and dark berry tones into a drink that feels polished rather than playful. Apple juice sets a clean, familiar base, while pomegranate brings structure and gentle tannic dryness that keeps the drink from drifting into sweetness. A touch of orange juice lifts everything just enough, adding brightness without turning it citrus-forward.

Served over crushed ice in a rocks glass, this drink feels composed and seasonal. It’s smooth, clear in flavor, and quietly confident - the kind of mocktail that works just as well before dinner as it does alongside a slow afternoon snack. Crisp, ruby-tinted, and thoughtfully layered, Pome-Apple Crisp is proof that fruit drinks don’t need bubbles or sugar to feel grown-up.

Shaken or Stirred? Stirred. Stirring keeps the flavors clean and the texture smooth without aeration.
