Pomegranate Margarita
This festive Pomegranate Margarita from scratch is a perfect celebratory cocktail! It is made from 5 ingredients - none of which is neon coloured margarita mix.
Servings 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 ounces lime juice freshly squeezed
- 2 ounces pure pomegranate juice
- 2 ounces water replace with more pomegranate juice for a fruitier margarita
- 2-3 ounces tequila blanco or reposado
- 1 ounce orange liquor like triple sec or Cointreau
- 1-2 ounces agave nectar
- ice
- for rim: lime wedge, salt & cane sugar
Instructions
-
To rim the glass, add some salt and sugar to a shallow plate. Wet the rim by sliding a lime wedge all around it. Dip the wetted rim into the salt & sugar mix. Set aside.
-
The easiest way to measure out the margarita ingredients is with a 1 or 2 ounce shot glass.
-
Add lime juice, pomegranate juice, water, tequila, orange liquor, and agave nectar to a cocktail shaker (a glass fitted with another glass on top works as replacement). Add a few ice cubes, close and shake until combined and chilled through.
-
If you like your margarita 'on the rocks', add a few ice cubes to the prepared rimmed glass. Strain the mixed pomegranate margarita into the glass.
-
Add a slice of lime on the side. If you made them, add a decorated stir stick.
