Create your simple syrup and cool it ahead of time. In a small saucepan, heat one part water to a boil. Add two parts sugar once the water is boiling (if making 1 cup of water, add 2 cups of sugar). Gently swirl the pot until the sugar is dissolved, then remove the syrup from the heat and let cool.
You can make as many or as few servings as you like keeping the ratios the same. If you make this in advance, mix the simple syrup, vodka, and pom juice in a pitcher and store in your fridge (covered) until it's time to serve.
Do not add the ginger ale until you are ready to serve, or the drink will go flat.
You can also make this a kiddie version by simply mixing one part pomegranate juice with two parts 7UP, which takes the place of the simple syrup.
