Aloe, you can find it in virtually any liquor store where they have the mixers - sometimes even in grocery stores that carry mixers. It's made with pomegranate juice. (It's also what gives the reddish tinge to a Tequila Sunrise.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love pomegranates, so it sounds like my kind of thing. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
