The Good Things section of Living Magazine included this recipe  we adapted to celebrate Rosh Hashanah, a time of reflection and looking forward. The author writes that pomegranites, with  their many seeds, represent a fruitful year

A Fruitful Year Toast

.
Ingredients
1 ounce dark or amber rum. We like Myers.
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons pomegranites molasses
(chefswarehouse.com)
5 mint leaves
4 ounces seltzer
1 tablespoon pomegranites seeds

Method

Stir together rum, honey, molasses and mint leaves in a small glass, crushing mint with back of a spoon.
Add ice cubes.
Top with seltzer.
Sprinkle pomegranites seeds in drink.

The red and green in this drink would also make a colorful winter holiday cooler.
