CHEF JEFF -- ONE BYTE AT A TIME: Pomegranate Spritzers

Honey sweetens this easy-to-make drink.

Pomegranate Spritzers

½ cup honey

½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

3 cups pomegranate juice

2 cups seltzer

Place honey in a large microwave-safe measuring cup and microwave on high for 10 to 20 seconds to warm (do not boil).

Whisk in lemon juice and pomegranate juice and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.

Fill 8 glasses with ice. Pour some of the pomegranate mixture into each glass to fill ¾ of the way. Top each glass with some seltzer. Serve immediately.

Yield: Serves 8.
