These Pomegranate Margaritas are tart, not too sweet, and would be perfect for sipping on Cinco de Mayo. But they're great any time!
What ingredients go into these margaritas?
- Lime juice and kosher salt: For rimming the glass(es). You could also use water and/or sugar, depending on your preference.
- Tequila: I like an añejo tequila, but use whatever you're into.
- Triple sec: Admittedly, I don't go for anything very expensive, and these margs turn out delicious nonetheless.
- Pomegranate juice: Just buy the bottled stuff!
- Lime juice: Freshly squeezed, please!
- Pomegranate arils & lime wedges: For garnish. They're not mandatory but make the drink look so pretty.
What food would pair well with these margs?
I'd highly recommend serving these alongside some Pressure Cooker Carnitas or Slow Cooker Taco Chicken. Serve them up taco-style, in a burrito or quesadilla, or just on their own. Maybe alongside some Cilantro Lime Rice?
Looking for other tequila-based cocktails?
Because I got 'em!
Try these Apple Cider Margaritas, Cara Cara Orange Margaritas, Cranberry Margaritas, Mezcal Apple Cider Margaritas, and Grilled Mezcal Margaritas.
Mexican Moscow Mules have tequila, too, as does this Strawberry Margarita Pie (yes, I know it isn't a cocktail).
In keeping with the pomegranate them, these Pomegranate Champagne Moscow Mules ain't bad, either!

I love pomegranate juice and this margarita recipe didn't disappoint me. I didn't have fresh lime so I used lime juice concentrate. Tastes great.
