Pour 7 to 10 ml (1 1/2 to 2 tsp) pomegranate juice in the bottom of a champagne flute. Top with cold sparkling wine. Split open a pomegranate and sprinkle three to five seeds as a garnish into the glass. The seeds drop to the bottom and fizz up to the top.

For the non-alcoholic crowd, substitute Sprite for sparkling wine. "The look is very similar and it tastes delicious.

Although pomegranate juice is now available in most supermarkets and specialty food stores, if it can't be found substitute cranberry juice and garnish the drink with fresh cranberries.
