A pomegranate contains from 400 to 900 seeds, covered with juicy pulp with a sweet and sour taste. Two fruits are enough to prepare a delicious drink on moonshine. The pomegranate tincture will be even tastier if you add a little citrus. Orange will dilute the tartness and add freshness to the drink. It will take only 30 minutes to prepare the tincture, and it will take another 20 days to reach readiness.

How to cook Pomegranate tincture

Step 1

Prepare the base for the tincture. Pour the peeled pomegranate into a three-liter jar. Cut the orange into several pieces and add it to the pomegranate. Pour sugar here too. Stir.

Step 2

Make a tincture. Pour moonshine over the fruit and sugar mixture. Do not pour it quickly, but in a moderate stream. Cover with a lid and shake well. Put it in a dark place at room temperature for 20 days.

Step 3

Strain the pomegranate tincture. After 20 days, take out the drink, shake it. Open the lid and strain. Considering that the orange pulp will become soggy, make at least 3 layers of gauze, or strain with cotton wool.

Pomegranate tincture - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use vodka instead of moonshine for this pomegranate tincture?

Yes, vodka is a great substitute for moonshine. It will give a smoother taste, though the final potency may vary slightly.

How long can I store the pomegranate tincture, and what's the best way to store it?

Store the tincture in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months. For longer shelf life, keep it in the fridge, tightly sealed.

Can I reduce the sugar for a less sweet tincture?

Absolutely! Adjust the sugar to your preference, but keep in mind it may slightly alter the balance of flavors.

What are some creative ways to serve this pomegranate tincture?

Try it chilled as a digestif, mixed in cocktails, or even drizzled over desserts like ice cream or fruit salads.

Can I use bottled pomegranate juice instead of fresh pomegranate?

Fresh pomegranate is best for flavor, but in a pinch, you can use high-quality pure juice—just avoid ones with added sugars or preservatives.

Is there a way to make this tincture without alcohol?

For a non-alcoholic version, substitute moonshine with apple cider vinegar or a fruit-infused syrup, though the taste and preservation will differ.

Can I freeze the tincture to extend its shelf life?

Freezing isn't recommended as it may alter the texture and flavor. Stick to cool, dark storage for best results.
