The best way to juice a pomegranate is to use a commercial juicer. While some people would like to juice their pomegranates manually, you can save an unbelievable amount of time by simply using a juicer. The juice of your pomegranate can make fine cocktails and juices. Some even use the juice of the fruit to create unique sauces and sugary syrups. Juicers are usually equipped with a pointed reamer and a plastic bowl at the bottom to easily collect the extracted juices.
