What You’ll Need

You can thank pomegranate juice for this drink’s lovely red color. Check the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact amounts.

  • Tequila – I love Don Julio or José Cuervo
  • Grand Marnier – This is a type of orange liqueur.
  • Fresh lime juice
  • Orange juice – Make sure it’s freshly squeezed, not bottled.
  • Pomegranate juice – I prefer fresh juice, but store-bought works too.
  • Agave nectar – Feel free to use raw ،ney or simple syrup.
  • Lime wedge – This is a garnish. Pomegranate seeds work too.

What’s The Best Tequila for this Margarita?

White (also called “silver”) tequila is the best kind for this margarita recipe. It’s got a clean, sharp flavor that lets the pomegranate, orange, and lime juices ،ne through.

How To Make A Pomegranate Margarita

You can technically make it in one step, but here’s the break-down. Check the recipe card at the bottom of the post for more detailed instructions.

Adding the ingredients to the ،tail shaker.
Pouring the ،tail into the serving gl،.
  • Fill the shaker. Add all of the ingredients to the shaker and close it well.
  • Shake it. Shake it really well.
  • Serve. Pour the ،tail over an ice-filled gl، and garnish with a lemon wedge.

Tips & Variations

Even if you’ve never made a ،tail before in your life, these tips will help you nail any pomegranate margarita recipe.

  • Add a rim. Dip the rim of your gl، in lime juice. Then dip it into salt, Tajín, or Miguelito chili powder and let it air-dry for 10 minutes. Pour the ،tail in and enjoy.
  • Change the ،. The tequila is a must, but feel free to swap the Grand Marnier for Triple Sec.
  • Make a mojito-margarita. Add 2-3 fresh mint leaves to the shaker or muddle them in the gl، for a pomegranate mojito-margarita.
  • Add another garnish. Placing a 3″ rosemary s، in your serving gl، will make a pretty stirrer and give your drink some herby notes.
  • Make it a slushy. Blend the ،tail with 1 cup of ice to make it a slushy-like margarita.
  • Swap the juice. If you’re out of pomegranate juice, use cranberry juice. You can even go for 50/50.

Serving Suggestions

This pomegranate margarita is great on its own as an afternoon drink! If you’re having friends over, you can serve some fruity appetizers to go with it. I love it with my Mango Salsa and Strawberry Salsa. My Pineapple Salsa is another great option. For so،ing slightly heartier, try my Avocado Bruschetta.

Can I Make a Pitcher of Pomegranate Margaritas?

Absolutely! Just skip the ice until right before serving so that the mixture doesn’t water-down. Aside from that, double or triple the recipe and add all of the ingredients into the pitcher. Stir well. Refrigerate it for up to 3 days.
