Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 ounces (3 tablespoons) 100% pomegranate juice (purchased or fresh squeezed)*

- 1/2 ounce (1 tablespoons) simple syrup
- Kosher salt or Himalayan pink salt, for the rim (optional)
- Ice, for serving (try clear ice)
- For the garnish: pomegranate seeds, orange wedge or lime wedge
Instructions
- Cut a notch in a lime wedge, then run the lime around the rim of a glass. Dip the edge of the rim into a plate of salt (or for a festive look, use Margarita Salt).
- Place all ingredients in a cocktail shaker and fill it with ice. Shake until cold. Strain the margarita into the glass with the salted rim. Fill the glass with ice, garnish with pomegranate seeds and an orange wedge or lime wedge.
Notes
*If all you can find is sweetened pomegranate juice, use half the simple syrup quantity (or add to taste).
