Ingredients
Scale
- 2 oz Tequila Blanco
- 1 oz Orange Liqueur (Cointreau or Triple Sec)
- 1 oz Fresh Lime Juice
- 2 oz Cranberry Juice (100% juice preferred)
- 1 oz Pomegranate Juice
- Optional: Coarse Salt or Sugar for rim
- Garnish: Fresh cranberries, pomegranate arils, rosemary sprigs
Instructions
- If using a rim, run a lime wedge around the edge of your serving glass. Dip the rim into a shallow plate of salt or sugar.
- Combine tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice, cranberry juice, and pomegranate juice in a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
- Shake well until the shaker is very cold, about 15 seconds.
- Strain the mixture into your prepared glass filled with fresh ice.
- Garnish with fresh cranberries, pomegranate arils, and a sprig of rosemary for a festive look.
- For a pitcher, multiply all ingredients by the number of servings needed. Mix all liquids in a pitcher and chill. Add ice to individual glasses before serving.
Notes
- For a mocktail version, substitute the tequila and orange liqueur with equal parts sparkling water or non-alcoholic spirit alternative.
- To make this recipe ahead, mix all liquid ingredients (excluding ice) up to 24 hours in advance. Keep chilled.
- Use good quality 100% juice for the best flavor in this cranberry pomegranate margarita.
