Pomegranate Lemonade

It's been a while since I've posted a drink. I recently received a whole bunch lemons. I knew I wouldn't be a able to use them all and I definitely don't want them to spoil. My only choice was to squeeze the living juice out of them. I need one of those hand held juicer things because squeezing lemons when you've got a tiny cut on your hand is not fun. Oh, what fun that was. I got about 2 cups worth. They were the plumpest lemons I've ever gotten. That would make quite a lot of lemonade and wouldn't you know, I made some.

Lemonade is simplest drink to make. Everyone has their own preference on how they make it. I like mine not too tart and not too sweet. It just so happens that I also had one last bottle of POM.*sniff. sigh*  I've been saving it. But I only need a little for color and slight taste as the drink is already tart as it was with the lemon juice. To make this into an adult drink, spike it with a little vodka and turn it into a cocktail. Doesn't it scream summer? I can't wait for the season to change. I've got summer on my mind.
