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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

In a large cocktail shaker or mixing pitcher, combine the pomegranate juice, tequila, lime juice, orange liqueur, and simple syrup.

Step 3

Add the ice cubes to the shaker or pitcher, then stir or shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds, until well-chilled and blended.

Step 4

Fill the prepared glasses with fresh ice cubes if desired, and strain the margarita mixture into the glasses.

Step 5

Garnish each glass with a few pomegranate seeds and a lime wedge. Serve immediately and enjoy!
