Pomegranate Margaritas
This seasonal twist on a traditional margarita is perfect for the holidays. Go ahead and adjust the strength to your liking: if you like a stronger (and more authentic) margarita, cut back on the pomegranate juice. Use a good quality 100% agave tequila like Patron Silver – it’ll taste better, and you’ll be glad for it the next day.
Cheers!

Pomegranate Margaritas
Ingredients
For Drink

- 1/2 ounce (1 tablespoon) orange liqueur, such as Grand Marnier or Cointreau
For Serving
- Lime wedges
- Coarse salt
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Place coarse salt on a small plate. Rub rim of glass with lime wedge and dip in coarse salt if desired. Add ice cubes to glass if using.
- Combine drink ingredients in a cocktail shaker, add some ice and shake vigorously, then strain into prepared glass. Garnish rim with lime wedge.

Had this at a party and the host said she got the recipe from your site. Loved it.
Another hit!!!
I made these delicious pomegranate margaritas for a early Thanksgiving celebration and they were a definite hit!! I like them a bit stronger than most but everyone agreed on the lovely color and flavor. Thanks!
Didn’t like these as much as the other magarita recipe, but my hubby LOVED these. Regardless never going back to the Jose Cuervo pre mixed junk.
Oh so yummy! I’m a big fan of margaritas and this one is perfect! I agree – always use high quality tequila, it really does make a difference in taste.
These have become my husband’s favorite margarita. They are easy to make and the addition of the pomegranate juice makes them perfect for the holidays.
This is a good margarita recipe with a little twist. I made them by the pitcher or should I say by the mason jar. I combined all ingredients and stuck in freezer for an hour or two before serving. This way it is easy for entertaining.
Looks like a real winner. I may make some of these alcohol free. 😮
Awesome, will definately be a 4th of july camping trip favorite!
made these for our tailgate last Sunday. It was a big hit! So refreshing with our brunch outdoors.
DEF trying!! 🙂
Perfect for our, too few, perfect Texas spring cookouts. Although the extremely hot days may call for a few, as well.
i will be serving these at my next cookout
These were amazing, and the perfect addition to our summer BBQ.
these are the best Margaritas
Love margaritas!!!!
Nice blog!
Wanna try these…
Made these for Thanksgiving…I couldn’t find straight Pomegranate juice so I used a Cranberry and Pomegranate juice blend – so good!!! Perfect for the holidays and my guests loved them. Thanks 🙂
