Featured Recipe: POM Wonderful Martini/Bellini

Ciroc Vodka needs no introduction, and certainly doesn’t need any help, but this pomegranate martini is festive, and gorgeous in the glass. The tang from the Pom juice is balanced with the addition of the sugar, but the real star of this cocktail is the vodka.

—Nugget Markets Executive Chef, Jeff Clark

Health Notes with Dr. Liz

A Jewel of a Juice

The ruby-red color of pomegranate juice signals its precious, gem-like health benefits. Richly colored compounds called phenols (specifically anthocyanins and ellagic acid) give pomegranate juice its distinctively tart flavor. These same phenols also protect your body, making this festive juice and mixer a must all year long.

Health wealth: Here are a few reasons why pomegranate has “super food” status:

• Numerous research studies show that pomegranate phenols help lower levels of harmful LDL cholesterol, which helps lower heart disease risk.
• Other studies show these same phenols inhibit dangerous cancer cell growth.
• Researchers also note pomegranate extracts may provide protection for the skin against UV sunlight damage.
• The antioxidant levels in pomegranate juice have been ranked the highest among many juices, such as blueberry, black cherry and acai (and even red wine!) High antioxidant levels point to disease prevention and slow the aging process.
• Juice use: Besides drinking pomegranate juice straight out of the bottle, you can enjoy its powers in many ways:
• Mix with sparkling water and a squeeze of lime for a refreshingly tart and beautiful drink.
• Add to champagne or mix with spirits for a New Year’s Eve signature drink.
• Bring out pomegranate’s savory side by using it as a marinade for chicken or a glaze for pork roast.
• Use it as a base for desserts like apple-pomegranate crisp.
• Dress a salad with a pomegranate vinaigrette and add a handful of pomegranate seeds for festive color.
