For the syrup

For the syrup: 30ml maple syrup
125 ml pomegranate juice with no added sugar
30 ml water
1 heaped tablespoon of Bonne Maman orange jam
Star anise

For one 27 cl cocktail glass

30 ml orange juice
1 oz lemon juice
150 ml of pomegranate juice with no added sugar
60 ml water
4 to 5 ice cubes
6 teaspoons of syrup

For decoration

White sugar
Cinnamon stick
Star anise
Orange

Steps

Bring the maple syrup, pomegranate juice, and water to a boil in a saucepan. Add the Bonne Maman orange jam and stir. Add the star anise and allow the mixture to thicken until it has a syrupy consistency. Allow the mixture to cool.
Squeeze an orange and a lemon and pour the fresh juice through a sieve to remove all the pulp.
Mix 30 ml lemon juice, 30 ml orange juice, 150 ml pomegranate juice, 60 ml water, and 6 teaspoons syrup in a shaker or other container.
Rub a citrus fruit around the rim of the glass before dipping it in the white sugar.
Put at least 4 ice cubes in the glass and pour in the cocktail.
Garnish your cocktail with a slice of orange, a cinnamon stick, and star anise.

Tips:

- If the syrup thickens too quickly, add a little water.
- Ice cubes play a key role. They add freshness, but also subtly dilute the deliberately concentrated cocktail and bring out its full flavor.
- White sugar on the rim of the glass adds a decorative touch to your cocktail, but also a very sweet taste with every sip.
