Ingredients
Scale
For the Drink
- 1 ounce tequila
- 1 ounce triple sec (I used Cointreau)
- Pomegranate juice (to top up glass)
- Ice cubes
For Garnish
- Salt (for rimming the glass)
- Lime wedges
Instructions
- Prepare the Glass Rim: Run the lime wedge along the rim of the glass to moisten it, then press the rim into salt to create a salted edge, enhancing the drink’s flavor.
- Assemble the Cocktail: Fill the prepared glass with ice cubes, pour in the triple sec and tequila, then squeeze a wedge of lime over the mixture to add citrus brightness.
- Top with Pomegranate Juice: Finish by topping up the glass with pomegranate juice, stirring gently if desired to blend all flavors together.
Notes
- Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavor if available.
- Cointreau gives a smoother taste but any good quality triple sec will work.
- Adjust the amount of pomegranate juice to your preferred tartness and sweetness balance.
- For a frozen version, blend the ingredients with ice instead of serving on the rocks.
