Virgin Aperol Spritz

No-cook drink aside from the syrup; syrup steeps at least 30 minutes and makes enough for 6 drinks (keeps up to 1-2 weeks refrigerated). Olive brine is the key 'alcohol-like' note — pickle juice works in a pinch. Pomegranate juice is only for color. Always add tonic last and stir gently to keep the bubbles. To batch ahead, mix 8x the pomegranate juice, olive brine, syrup, and orange juice in a pitcher; pour 3 oz per glass and top with 3 oz tonic.
