Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In a small saucepan, combine ¾ cup sugar, ¾ cup pomegranate juice, and 1½-inch piece fresh ginger (peeled and thinly sliced). Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring once halfway through, and cook until the sugar dissolves, about 12 minutes.
-
Step 2.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the syrup cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes. Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl or jar, discarding the ginger solids. You should have about 1 cup of syrup; store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Step 3.
Fill two Collins glasses with ice. Add 1 tablespoon of the pomegranate-ginger syrup to each glass, then top with club soda. Garnish each glass with a maraschino cherry and a slice of candied ginger. Serve immediately.
