Pomegranate Margarita

Ingredients

• 2 oz tequila (blanco)

• 1 oz pomegranate juice (fresh preferred)

• 0.5 oz triple sec (orange liqueur)

• 0.75 oz lime juice

• 0.25 oz simple syrup (optional, for sweetness)

• Ice cubes

• Salt & pomegranate seeds (for garnish)

Steps

1️⃣ Prepare glass (20s): Rim a rocks glass with lime and dip in salt.

2️⃣ Mix (40s): In a shaker, combine tequila, pomegranate juice, triple sec, lime juice, and simple syrup with ice.

3️⃣ Shake & serve (30s): Shake until chilled, then strain into the prepared glass over fresh ice. Garnish with pomegranate seeds.

Notes

• Always use fresh pomegranate juice for a brighter, more natural flavor.

• Balance sweetness: adjust with simple syrup depending on the tartness of your pomegranate.

• Tequila blanco works best for a crisp profile, but reposado adds depth.
