Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Pomegranate juice
- 1 cup Tequila (silver or blanco)
- 0.5 cup Freshly squeezed lime juice
- 0.5 cup Orange liqueur (like Cointreau or Triple Sec)
- 0.25 cup Simple syrup
- 3 cups Ice cubes
- 4 pieces Lime wedges
- 0.25 cup Coarse salt or sugar (optional, for rimming glasses)
- 2 tablespoons Pomegranate seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the glasses by rimming them. Pour the coarse salt or sugar onto a small plate. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of each glass to moisten it, then dip the rim into the salt or sugar to coat it evenly. Set the glasses aside.
In a large cocktail shaker or mixing pitcher, combine the pomegranate juice, tequila, lime juice, orange liqueur, and simple syrup.
Add the ice cubes to the shaker or pitcher, then stir or shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds, until well-chilled and blended.
Fill the prepared glasses with fresh ice cubes if desired, and strain the margarita mixture into the glasses.
Garnish each glass with a few pomegranate seeds and a lime wedge. Serve immediately and enjoy!
