Planting the seeds of tipsy

If champagne and orange juice is a mimosa, and champagne and cranberry juice is a hybiscus, what is champagne and pomegranate juice called?

I must name it, as it is delicious!

But I'm torn... Both hibiscus and mimosa are flowers, therefore, it seems to follow that a cocktail of pomegranate juice and champagne should also be named after a flower. However, upon Wiki-research, pomegranate flowers are called balaustines [buh-laws-tin], and that just doesn't sound very lovely.

On the other hand, I also learned that the word 'grenade' originally comes from the French word for pomegranate, 'la grenade', and since champagne is French, 'grenade' seems like a fine name for such a concoction.

Thoughts?

Suggestions?
