Cocktail #012- Half Blood Prince

To celebrate Halloween, my wife asked for a blood red cocktail because she occasionally makes request based more on the color of the cocktail or glassware style than a base spirit or other usual mixological specifications. This cocktail also embodies autumnal flavors featuring pomegranate juice and maple syrup.
