Pomegranates are very significant in Judaism. Specifically, with the Jewish new year, Rosh Hashana – it is traditional to consume because of their numerous seeds symbolizing fruitfulness for the year ahead. It is also said to have 613 seeds, which is the number of “mitzvot” or moral deeds/commandments a Jew must perform. Not only is it packed with all the nutrients pomegranate juice delivers, but it is perfect as is or spruced up with an alcoholic beverage of your choice. This could work as a the perfect signature drink for Rosh Hashana!
