Pomegranate Margarita
Happy Wednesday. We’ve made it halfway through the work week! Time to celebrate on a hot summer afternoon with this five-minute pomegranate margarita recipe. We made this recipe a few weeks ago when a couple of our closest friends came together for the first time this year and it hit the spot! The pomegranate juice gives an added tartness to meet the classic lime margarita flavor balanced with orange liqueur and a fun twist on a salt rim. Give it a try!
Pomegranate Margarita
A five-minute variation of your favorite margarita made with agave and topped with sugar-salt-lime rim.
Equipment
- Shaker
- Cocktail jigger or shot glass
Ingredients
- 2 oz tequila
- 4 oz pomegranate juice
- 1 Tbsp agave syrup
- 2 oz freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 oz orange liqueur (like Triple sec)
Instructions
- measure all ingredient into a shaker and add a handful of ice
- shake until chilled (about 10-15 seconds)
- add 1 Tbsp. of fine sea salt, 1 Tbsp. of fine sugar, and the zest of 1/2 a lime onto a plate. Mix together. Then take a lime wedge and coat the rim of the glass and dip into the mixture until evenly coated.
- strain the cocktail through the shaker top onto fresh ice
- garnish with your favorite fruit
Notes
Of course you could do simply salt rim or sugar or no rim at all. I garnished with blueberries because I had a super sweet batch and I love them so much, but you could garnish with lime, pomegranate seeds, or any other fruit.
