#SignatureSaturday :: Whiskey Station + Pomegranate Whiskey Sour

Stations are all the rage these days for appetizers, dinners and desserts. Why not have your signature drink in the form of a station? We've used Whiskey as an example, but you could incorporate any of your favorite liquors or wines. Choose an open station with several choices, or keep it to one whiskey with one mixer.

.  .  .  .  .  .  .

The Pomegranate Whiskey Sour below would be a great one to use for a station! Guests can mix their own from the pre-made syrup and lemon juice adders....

Pomegranate Whiskey Sour

INGREDIENTS

Simple Syrup:
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup pomegranate seeds

Cocktail:
4 ounces bourbon whiskey
2 ounces lemon juice
2 ounces pomegranate simple syrup

INSTRUCTIONS

Make simple syrup by heating water and granulated sugar of medium heat until all sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat, add pomegranate seeds, and allow to cool completely. Run through blender and then strain through fine mesh strainer. Discard seed solid and keep the pink syrup.
To make the cocktail, combine bourbon whiskey, lemon juice, and pomegranate simple syrup in a shaker with ice. Vigorously shake until well combined, about 20 seconds. Strain into a low ball ice with extra large ice cubes.
