Chill a coupe glass in the freezer for 5 minutes.

Pour 1.5 oz pomegranate juice into the bottom of the glass.

Tilt the glass and pour in 4.5 oz chilled sparkling wine slowly, letting the color bloom upward through the bubbles rather than stirring it in.

Drop in 1 tablespoon of fresh pomegranate arils; they will sink and then rise back up with the fizz.

Serve right away, before the arils settle to the bottom.
