I want to make a pom mocktail!! and now that you mention it…i bet that a splash of pom in my daily green monster would be a great tart addition!!!

I would love to use it in a balsamic reduction!! I don’t know if that would work but thats the first thing that came my head haha

Lara November 6, 2009 at 8:15 am

I gotta say that I love it straight up the best but I also have been thinking about putting it in a vinaigrette… bet a whole case would help me get the recipe just right!

I would use it for holiday cocktails, and I usually make baked apples with orange juice, but I bet they would be great with pom, too!

Lisa November 6, 2009 at 8:21 am

I would definitely drink it straight up or make a reduction with it and eating it with something savory. Yum!

A POM Martini to celebrate the holidays of course :)

I would love to try pom juice in a smoothie and for a pre- workout energy boost!

Laura November 6, 2009 at 8:26 am

I would probably put it in a smoothie. It would be great mixed with perrier too! :)

Kelly November 6, 2009 at 8:26 am

I would put some POM juice in plain seltzer water and make a POM soda. :)

I would have to try the pomtini but I would also use it straight up or in a smoothie.

Meagan November 6, 2009 at 8:28 am

I would be excited about trying pom in champagne, so it would be a Pom Royale!

aimee November 6, 2009 at 8:28 am

I would drink it mixed with pellegrino! I love POM!

Mara @ What's For Dinner? November 6, 2009 at 8:32 am

I use my POM juice to make reduction sauces for steak/chicken… SO GOOD!!!

I would use this POM juice to Glaze the chiken or Salmon. Guess it would be a great substitute for lemon juice + soy sauce or BBQ sauce :) and the color should be perfect when it comes out of the oven!

maria November 6, 2009 at 8:36 am

I want to make POM popsicles..and of course drink so much POM I turn dk red.. ;)

Rebecca Kenefic November 6, 2009 at 8:37 am

mmm BEST way to use the regular POM juice, reduce it with a little stevia, add some braggs, and make a vegetable stir fry! one of the ONLY ways my kid will touch vegetables!!! he thinks they are candy coated so im gonna roll with it

thanks gina you are always the best!

Sarah Jayne November 6, 2009 at 8:41 am

I would use pom in my marinades & vinaigrettes! Pom & balsamic as a reduction is also rdiculously good over fruit for dessert!!!!!

Jocelyn November 6, 2009 at 8:43 am

POM and diet sprite is AMAZING!

Reply

Stephanie November 6, 2009 at 8:45 am

I’d probably make more pomtinis than necessary…but adding pom juice to healthy green smoothies should balance that out :)

Reply

denise November 6, 2009 at 8:47 am

I usually like it “straight up” because I love all things tart! Getting creative though, I’d like to try POM instead of key lime juice in a pie for dessert :)

Reply

Jessie Bea November 6, 2009 at 8:48 am

I love POM juice either diluted with some h20 or, even better, some sparkling water or seltzer. yum!

Allie (Protein Girl) November 6, 2009 at 8:48 am

POM in a post-workout shake!

Reply

Kat November 6, 2009 at 8:48 am

POM + champagne, POM + sparkling water, POM-tinis, POM smoothies, POM juices, POM-balsamic vinaigrette over spring mix with candied walnuts, POM by itself… the possibilites are endless!!! I heart POM!

Denise November 6, 2009 at 8:49 am

If I win, I will definitely mix it up. I will have a pomtini, and make some smoothies. I may even make a pom-salad dressing… that sounds good!

Reply

Jackie November 6, 2009 at 8:50 am

I would most definitely make a POMtini

Reply

Teri November 6, 2009 at 8:52 am

I just had my very first pomegranate ever this week. SOOOO good!! I would put POM juice in pretty much anything I think! It’s such a good flavor and so healthy! I want to try POM infused banana bread with arils. YUM.

Jane B. November 6, 2009 at 8:52 am

I think I’d just mix it wit some seltzer and make a little mocktail :)

Pam (pamcakes and eggs) November 6, 2009 at 8:53 am

I’ve NEVER tried POM so this would be great! I think a soup would be created. A sweet dessert soup maybe?

Reply

jamie November 6, 2009 at 8:54 am

How fun.. a POM giveaway?
Hmmmm I would use POM in my new SodaStream machine and make POM flavored sparkling water.
OR
That POMtini looks delish! I might make one of those too… and maybe a lot more w/ a whole case =)

I love freezing pom in ice cube trays and sucking on them – like mini popsicles! Or using the cubes in smoothies. Its delicious.
