Cranberry Pomegranate Margarita

This originally was quite strong, so I'm working on altering the amounts. Great base to start alterations to though! What's listed currently is the original - my plan is to try 1/2 cup tequila instead of 3/4 cup. That or upping the juices to 3/4 cup. 

Makes 3-4

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup silver tequila (1/4)
  • 1/3 cup orange liqueur (I used triple sec) 1 oz
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate juice same
  • 1/2 cup cranberry juice 1/4
  • 1/4 cup lime juice 1 oz
  • 1 ounce agave nectar (optional and I didn't use as I wasn't looking for a sweet beverage)
  • Club soda to taste (was also listed as optional on the original recipe - but we did use)
  • Optional garnishes: sugar and salt rim, pomegranate arils, lime wedges.  

Instructions:

  1. Combine tequila, liqueur, and juices (and nectar if using it) with ice in a shaker and shake till chilled.
  2. Rim glasses if choosing to do so, and add ice to glasses
  3. Pour evenly between glasses.
  4. Optionally top with club soda if desired.  I found club soda to be an odd choice for a margarita, but since it was so strong, we all added the club soda to ours, and it was actually quite delightful.
