Add the rest of the ingredients (except soda) and fill with ice. Stir until well chilled and strain into punch bowl with 1 large ice cube. For individual pours, pour over 1 large ice cube and top with soda. Garnish with mint and pomegranate before serving.
Candy Crush Tea
- 1 cup boiling water

Boil water and remove from heat source. Steep tea bag in water for four minutes. Stir in candy cane pop rocks until dissolved, you want to dissolve these while the water is still hot. Bring mixture to room temperature before incorporating into punch. Pro tip: DO NOT add sugar, the sugar is incorporated into the punch recipe above.
