Pomegranate Margarita
Hallelujah and Happy Friday! What are you up to this weekend? What ya baking? I have pizza dough rising as I type. I’m making my favorite Sicilian pizza for dinner and (finally) photographing it so I can share it with you tomorrow. Also baking 8 new recipes this weekend before heading to NYC to spend a few days with my girl Tessa. So basically tons of baking and eating (and dish washing) in my future!
But before all of that: let’s share a quick cocktail! I made you some super tasty, super easy pomegranate margaritas. They’re fresh, fruity, and perfect for parties… or just a cozy Friday night home. Toss all of the ingredients together, give em a stir, and serve. It’s really that simple!
For an extra pretty presentation, top each margarita with pomegranate seeds and a lime wedge!
Pomegranate Margarita Recipe
Tips and Tricks for Recipe Success:
- These margaritas are not overly sweet. I find between the tequila, the orange liqueur, and the pomegranate juice they’re the perfect balance of sweet and tart. If you want a really sweet drink, you could add a little simple syrup, but again, I don’t thinks it’s needed. Taste and judge for yourself 😉
- Since there are only a few ingredients in this recipe, I suggest using the best quality ones you can find. I LOVE Casamigos for the tequila and Cointreau for the orange liqueur. Both are pricey, but last a long time and taste wise are totally worth it! Of course you can use basic tequila and triple sec, but it won’t taste nearly as good. Do what best suits your tastes and wallet!
- Use FRESH lime juice. It’s a million times better than the bottled stuff.
- I prefer these easy pomegranate margaritas on the rocks, but you could definitely add ice, blend them, and serve them frozen.
Time for me to get baking… and you to make a cocktail! Hope you have a great weekend. See you tomorrow with a big fat slice of pizza 🙂 xoxo
