    If you're fixing yourself a drink this holiday season, make it a Pomegranate Martini. Full of mythological symbolism, pomegranate is ideal for everything from rituals to cocktail parties. Make some magic and merriment, and make it awesome.

    I always like to imagine myself at a mid-century modern cocktail party with a perfectly fitting red dress and perfectly coiffed hair that doesn't move. Ray Charles plays in the background as I make delightful conversation while sipping a potent cocktail and dance around immaculate furniture.

    In real life, I'm more likely to be on my couch in yoga pants and Nordic socks with my hair in a messy bun watching a Christmas movie and drinking hot chocolate. Both scenarios sound equally appealing to me, but the one that means I don't have to shave my legs usually wins out. I am a kitchen witch, after all. Home and hearth are the source of my magic.

    What makes a pomegranate martini so awesome?

    If you're more of a cocktail witch in love with a bit of glamour magick, you might want to shake up a pomegranate martini or two this holiday season. A potent combination of vodka, pomegranate liqueur, and a bit of grenadine for sweetness, this is serious party fare. And the color is absolutely magical.

    You can shake these up one at a time or make up a whole pitcher for a party. Add some fresh pomegranate seeds if you like. This cocktail is a bit sweet, but quite strong, so it's definitely one you want to sip with restraint. Or maybe you don't. Do what makes you happy.

    Magickal properties of pomegranates

    The pomegranate is most commonly associated with the goddess Persephone, as it was these ruby seeds that kept her trapped in Hades. As such, it is also associated with Samhain and the underworld. Use it in spells for rebirth and renewal.

    This enormous fruit loaded with seeds also represents growth and fertility. You can also visualize a wish as you eat each seed to help it come true. Pomegranates are associated with the planet Mercury and the elements of earth and fire. (Source: Rachel Paterson)

    How to make a pomegranate martini

    Look, there's not a lot to say here, kids. Add vodka, pomegranate liqueur, and grenadine to a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake it vigorously until the cocktail shaker feels cold. Strain this into a martini glass, and sip away. Add more or less grenadine depending on how sweet you like your cocktails.
