- lime wedge for rimming the glass optional
- kosher salt or sugar for rimming the glass optional
- 3 ounces pomegranate juice
- 1.5 ounces tequila
- ¾ ounce orange liqueur

Rub a wedge of lime around the rim of a margarita or rocks glass. Turn the glass upside down and press the rim into the coarse salt or sugar. Carefully add ice to the glass. Set it aside.
In a cocktail shaker with ice, combine the pomegranate juice, tequila, orange liqueur, and lime juice. Shake until very cold and strain into the prepared glass.
Garnish with pomegranate arils and a lime wedge, if desired.
- Use whatever tequila that you prefer for this recipe.
- While you can totally make your own pomegranate juice, if you feel like it, I recommend buying bottled juice.
