I get pretty excited about this time of year because citrus is in season and I love it all.  Here in Louisiana there are gorgeous and delicious oranges of all varieties, satsumas, and grapefruits grown locally.  The first to pop up have been satsumas and they are easy to peel, sweet, and are so pretty with their green skins and orange insides. I loved the idea of pomegranate juice mixed with the tang of a satsuma to create a delicious cocktail.  My pomegranate and satsuma gin martini is the perfect fall drink to highlight seasonal flavors and to kick start your weekend.

One thing this drink has going for it right off the bat is that both the satsumas and the pomegranate seeds make for such a pretty cocktail.  This would be a perfect holiday drink to prepare from now until Christmas.  It could totally be a Halloween cocktail but is also pretty enough for your Thanksgiving table and menu.
