Pomegranate-Orange Cooler
Photography: Lisa Romerein; 
Notes: For the freshest flavor, use refrigerated pomegranate juice. For a nonalcoholic version of the drink, omit the vodka, replace the liqueur with fresh-squeezed orange juice, and increase the ginger ale to 5 cups. You can make the juice mixture up to 1 day ahead; chill airtight (you can freeze the vodka mixture at least 1 hour and up to 1 day). Prep time: about 10 minutes.
