Pomegranate Moscow Mule
Pomegranates are associated with the Ancient Greek myth of Persephone, and why winter (and fall) exist. Persephone was abducted by Hades, the god of the Underworld. Eventually, he was persuaded to let her free, but he has still one last trick. It was known that if you ate in the Underworld you could never leave. So before she left, he gave her a few pomegranate seeds to eat. Persephone ate six of those pomegranate seeds, and it was then decided she would stay 6 months a year in the Underworld (fall and winter) and the other six months with Demeter (spring and summer).
