Ingredients

  • 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
  • ½ lime juiced
  • pomegranate arils and lime wedge for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • 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.

Notes

  • 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.
