Pomegranate Margarita

There’s nothing we love more than a good margarita variation…and here’s a new spin that’s got us hooked. Try the Pomegranate Margarita!

Sweet tart Patrick Font Pomegranate Juice pairs perfectly with tequila and lime, balanced with the orange perfume of Cointreau. It’s a great winter cocktail for when pomegranate is in season: but honestly: we'd drink it anytime.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 ounces (3 tablespoons) Patrick Font Pomegranate Juice
• 1 1/2 ounces (3 tablespoons) tequila
• 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) Cointreau
• 1/2 ounce (1 tablespoon) lime
• 1/2 ounce (1 tablespoon) simple syrup or maple syrup
• Kosher salt or Himalayan pink salt, for the rim (optional)
• Ice, for serving (try clear ice)
• Garnish: pomegranate seeds, orange wedge or lime wedge

Instructions:

1. Cut a notch in a lime wedge, then run the lime around the rim of a glass. Dip the edge of the rim into a plate of salt (or for a festive look, use Margarita Salt).

2. Place all ingredients in a cocktail shaker and fill it with ice. Shake until cold.

3. Strain the margarita into the glass with the salted rim. 

4. Fill the glass with ice.

5. Garnish with pomegranate seeds and an orange or lime wedge
