In small saucepan, combine watermelon mixer and ginger. Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon wedge into the pan and drop the wedge into the mix. Bring watermelon mixture just to a simmer; turn off heat and let steep 15 minutes to infuse ginger and lemon flavors and cool down.
Remove and discard ginger and lemon wedge.
Run a fresh lemon wedge around rim of 4 serving glasses; turn moistened glass edge in rimmer to coat.
Fill glasses ¾-full with ice. Pour infused watermelon mix and tequila into a 2-cup measure; stir.
Divide mixture evenly among glasses.
Top off with club soda.
Slice remaining two lemon wedges into thinner slices. Garnish each cocktail with a slice of lemon and fresh pomegranate seeds.

For a mocktail simply eliminate the tequila and top off your drink with additional club soda or your favorite flavored soda water.
