These pomegranate margaritas are a lovely seasonal twist on a traditional margarita and are 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!

This is delicious! I ran out out pomegranate juice but was still craving a flavored margarita. I had some 100% tart cherry juice so I gave it a whirl…it was amazing! Wanted to share incase someone else loves cherry juice.
I only had 3 ounces of juice left so that’s what I used. I added 1/2 ounce of simple and skipped the orange liquor.
Jen, you have the absolute best recipes and am so grateful for you!
Hi Jenn,
Happpy Hanukkah to you and your family! I loved this recipe, but feel a bit weird serving a margarita for the holidays, if I’m not having Mexican food with it. 🙂 Would you please direct me to a delicious Pomegranite Martini recipe that you have tried? There are so many online that I just can’t pick one. I have both of your cookbooks and love them both! Your website is amazing. You are a really talented food photographer too. Your food pics are perfect!
Thanks so much,
Rose
Hi Rose, thanks for your very kind words, and happy Hanukkah to you! I haven’t come across a good pomegranate martini recipe (sorry!), but if I see one that looks worthwhile, I will send it your way. 🙂
Thanks so much 🙂
It was ok, but it needed a little bit of sugar water/ simple syrup.
Had my husband make this for me tonight. I had him use 3 Oz of Tequila. I liked it. I use the no sugar Pomegranate juice. Pure.
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.
I do that for Cosmos when I am making for company. Great idea too for the margaritas
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 🙂
