Pomegranate Lemonade Spritzers

It's been so hot here.  I mean, I just returned from vacationing in Montana and it was 90 degrees there, but 90  degrees here feels 10x worse. Like, walking outside into the humidity is exhausting. I go ahead and count that as my workout for the day.  I mean, there is sweat involved so it's practically the same thing…right?

This drink is so refreshing, you almost forget you're melting into your chair.  Almost. 

This version is non-alcoholic but adding a flavored vodka would be delish in my opinion. Maybe just an ounce before adding the club soda.  Just thinking out loud here.
