Servings: 1
Ingredients:
- ½ cup pomegranate juice (chilled)
- ½ cup lemon-lime soda (or sparkling water, chilled)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 2–3 tablespoons pomegranate popping boba
- A splash of orange juice (for soft color contrast)
- Ice cubes (enough to fill the glass)
- Fresh pomegranate seeds or mint leaves (for garnish)
Build the Bloom in Your Glass
Start by filling a tall glass with plenty of ice. Pour in ½ cup of chilled pomegranate juice, followed by 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lime juice. Gently add ½ cup of lemon-lime soda or sparkling water to bring in light bubbles and balance. Stir lightly to blend the base.
Now drop in 2–3 tablespoons of pomegranate popping boba. These juice-filled pearls settle into the drink, offering a vibrant, fruity burst with every sip. For added visual flair and a twist in texture, you can add extra bursting boba in a contrasting flavor like mango or blueberry.
Finish with a splash of orange juice on top for a glowing, layered effect. Garnish with a few pomegranate seeds or a fresh mint sprig. Serve immediately with a wide straw to enjoy the satisfying pop of popping boba in every refreshing gulp.

FAQs About Pomegranate Boba Ice Bloom
1. Can I use a different type of popping boba?
Yes, but pomegranate popping boba complements this flavor profile best. You can mix it with other varieties for contrast.

3. Can I make a larger batch?
Yes. Multiply the ingredients by the number of servings. Assemble just before serving to maintain freshness.
4. What’s the difference between popping boba and bursting boba?
They’re the same—both are thin-shelled pearls filled with fruit juice that pop in your mouth.
5. Can I use flat water instead of soda?
