This bright and festive punch-format cocktail is sized for one or two people, depending on how thirsty they are. You can serve this in a standard soup or cereal bowl. Keep in mind the ease of drinking: You may be able to lift and sip from a bowl with taller edges, or you may prefer to use a straw.
You can make this cocktail nonalcoholic by omitting the gin and dry curaçao, increasing the pomegranate juice to 6 ounces, adding an ounce of simple syrup, and replacing the dry sparkling wine with soda or tonic water. Since most bitters are alcoholic, if you want to avoid even those few drops of booze but desire an orangey note, strip a large swath of orange peel and express the oils over the punch and drop it into the bowl, as well.
