Instructions
  1. 1

    Rim the glass

    Run a lime wedge around the rim of your glass. If you want a salt rim, tip some coarse sea salt onto a small plate and dip the moistened rim in it. Fill the glass with ice and set it aside.

  1. 2

    Shake it up

    Add the tequila, triple sec, pomegranate juice, freshly squeezed lime juice, and simple syrup to a cocktail shaker. Fill with ice, cap it, and shake hard for 15 to 20 seconds until the outside of the shaker frosts over.

  2. 3

    Strain and garnish

    Strain into your prepared glass over fresh ice. Drop in a lime wedge and a few pomegranate seeds for that jewel-toned finish, and drink it while it is cold.

Notes & Tips

This is the margarita that shows up in October wearing a leather jacket. Pomegranate gives it a deep ruby color and a little tart edge that plays perfectly against the tequila. A couple of pointers: use 100% pomegranate juice (not the sugary cocktail blends), and fresh lime juice is non-negotiable here. Mocktail swap: skip the tequila and triple sec, bump the pomegranate juice to 3 oz, and top with a splash of soda water and an extra squeeze of lime. Still gorgeous, still a crowd-pleaser.
