Pomegranate Margarita
When is it ever not margarita season? A pitcher of strawberry margaritas is great to welcome spring, while blended mango margaritas can be enjoyed year-round. But as the weather starts to cool and we crave our favorite fall recipes, our margarita preferences shift too. Enter the pomegranate margarita. With its fruity, cranberry-like taste and a touch of maple syrup for sweetness, it’s the ideal cocktail to satisfy that fall margarita craving.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup salt
- 1/2 cup pomegranate juice, plus more for dipping the rim
- 3 oz. silver tequila (blanco)
- 1 oz. triple sec
- 1 oz. lime juice
- 1/2 oz. maple syrup
- Ice
- Lime slices and pomegranate seeds, to garnish
Instructions
- Place the salt on a small plate. Place a splash of pomegranate juice on another small plate. Dip just the rims of two glasses in the pomegranate juice, then dip in the salt.
- In a cocktail shaker, combine the pomegranate juice, tequila, triple sec, lime juice, maple syrup and ice. Shake for 10-20 seconds to chill thoroughly, then strain into two glasses filled with ice. Garnish with a slice of lime and a few pomegranate seeds, if you like.
