Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 oz Tequila blanco
- 2 oz Pomegranate juice
- 1 oz Cherry syrup
- 1.5 oz Fresh lime juice
- 1 oz Triple sec or orange liqueur
- 3 pieces Fresh cherries, pitted
- 1.5 cups Ice cubes
- to taste Salt (optional, for rim)
- 1 piece Lime wedge
- 1 tbsp Pomegranate seeds
Instructions
If using, prepare the salted rim: Run a lime wedge around the rim of your glass, then dip it into a shallow plate of salt to coat the rim evenly. Set aside.
In a cocktail shaker, muddle the fresh cherries until they are thoroughly crushed and release their juices.
Add the tequila blanco, pomegranate juice, cherry syrup, fresh lime juice, triple sec, and ice cubes to the shaker.
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds to mix and chill the ingredients.
Fill a glass with ice cubes if desired, or use the prepared salted glass.
Strain the drink mixture into the glass through a fine mesh sieve to remove cherry pulp and ice.
Garnish the drink with a lime wedge, a few pomegranate seeds, and, if desired, a whole cherry on the rim.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Poolside Cherry Pomegranate Arita!
