Ingredients
- For the margarita:
- 2 ounces silver tequila
- 3/4 ounce simple syrup* (1.5 tablespoons)
- 3/4 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice (1.5 tablespoons fresh lime juice)
- 1 ounce pomegranate juice (bottled is fine)
- For serving:
- Sea salt and a lime wedge for rimming the glass, if desired
Instructions
- If you’d like to rim your glass with salt, do this first. Cut a wedge from a lime and rub the cut side of the lime along the rim of your favorite glass. Pour sea salt onto a plate and dip the wet glass rim into the salt to coat it.
- Add tequila, simple syrup, fresh lime juice and pomegranate juice to a cocktail shaker. Then add about ½ cup of ice cubes to the shaker, cover tightly, and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.
- Immediately pour the margarita into the glass and enjoy!
Notes
*A quick shortcut for simple syrup: shake equal parts granulated sugar + water (2 tbsp. each would be enough for 2 drinks) in a jar for 1-2 minutes until the sugar dissolves.
If you want to make homemade pomegranate juice, you can blend pomegranate seeds for 5 seconds and then strain the juice through a mesh sieve.
Feel free to double, triple or quadruple the recipe to serve more.
