The Pomenade

Though summer has come to an end, the heat is still with us.

Here’s a drink that you wish was served at any old lemonade stand. The Pomenade — a Joe’s Place original — is like the boozy pomegranate lemonade you didn’t know you needed.

Experience: Pomegranate vodka, mixed with lemon juice and lime juice, along with a splash of classic O.J., is shaken hard and poured over a healthy serving of ice. Though the drink is tart from the pomegranate and the lime, it has a sweet, refreshing aftertaste that makes you keep on drinking.

Advice: This drink doesn’t seem strong, but if you drink it too fast, you might get punched in the face by the vodka. Wind down with this drink after a long day of work or school. Don’t forget to eat the orange wedge afterwards; you won’t regret it.
