Ginger-Pomegranate Sparkler Cocktail

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of sugar
• 1/4 cup finely chopped peeled ginger
• 1 bottle (750 ml) of cava or any dry sparkling wine
• 1/2 tsp pomegranate molasses

Preparation:

1. Prepare ginger syrup: Combine sugar, 1 cup water, and ginger in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer, stirring, over low heat until the sugar dissolves. Remove the syrup from the heat and cool to room temperature. Strain and discard the ginger.
2. Prepare a cocktail: Open the sparkling wine and fill the champagne flutes halfway. Add 1/2 teaspoon of pomegranate molasses to each glass, then add 2 tablespoons of ginger syrup. Top with the remaining sparkling wine.
   
   Leftover ginger syrup can be stored in the refrigerator and added to sparkling water.
