Tequila Pomegranate Fizz Cocktail Recipe

This cocktail is all about that sweet and tart combo, thanks to fresh pomegranate juice and lime. I usually reach for silver tequila because it keeps things crisp and light.

A splash of soda on top adds just the right fizz.

Equipment

• Cocktail shaker
• Jigger or measuring spoon
• Fine mesh strainer
• Tall glass or highball glass
• Bar spoon
• Citrus juicer
• Ice cubes
• Knife and cutting board (for garnishes)

A decent cocktail shaker really helps blend everything together. I always use a jigger to measure because, honestly, eyeballing it just never works out for me.

The fine mesh strainer makes sure no pulp or seeds sneak into the glass. Tall glasses are my go-to since you need room for all that fizz.

Fresh ice cubes keep things cold and crisp. I keep my strainer and juicer close by for squeezing limes on the spot.

Ingredients

• 2 oz silver (blanco) tequila
• 1 oz pomegranate juice
• 1/2 oz fresh lime juice
• 1/2 oz triple sec
• 1/4 oz grenadine (optional for extra color and sweetness)
• 1 oz orange juice (optional for a fruitier flavor)
• Club soda or sparkling water, to top off
• Ice cubes
• Orange slice and pomegranate seeds (for garnish)

I prefer silver tequila since it plays so nicely with fruit juices. Real pomegranate juice and freshly squeezed limes just taste better, in my opinion.

Triple sec adds that hint of orange and ties the tartness together. If I’m in the mood for something sweeter or brighter, I’ll toss in a bit of orange juice or grenadine.

Club soda is what gives the drink its fizz, so don’t skip it. For garnish, an orange slice or a handful of pomegranate seeds really makes the glass look inviting.

Instructions

• Fill your cocktail shaker halfway with ice cubes.
• Pour in the tequila, pomegranate juice, lime juice, triple sec, and orange juice if you’re using it.
• Add grenadine if you want a little more color and sweetness.
• Shake it up for about 15 seconds until it’s nice and cold.
• Strain into a tall glass filled with fresh ice cubes.
• Top off the glass with club soda or sparkling water.
• Stir gently with a bar spoon, just enough to mix in the soda.
• Garnish with an orange slice and a few pomegranate seeds before serving.

I always shake the drink well so it’s properly chilled and everything’s blended. The club soda on top brings that refreshing fizz.

Garnishes aren’t just for looks—they make the whole thing feel a bit more special.

Notes

Tweaking the lime juice is an easy way to make the cocktail a bit more tart or sweet, depending on what you’re feeling that day. If I add grenadine, I usually cut back on the orange juice so it doesn’t get too sugary.

Fresh pomegranate juice really does make a difference compared to the bottled kind. If you’re out of triple sec, any orange liqueur will do in a pinch.

Sometimes I like to rim the glass with salt or sugar for a little extra flavor—it’s kind of fun. Making a big batch in a pitcher for friends is a good move, just pour over ice when you’re ready.

And don’t skip the garnishes; they look great and honestly, eating the pomegranate seeds at the end is a nice little treat.

Tasting Notes

When I take a sip of the Tequila Pomegranate Fizz, the first thing that jumps out is its bright, ruby color. It’s honestly pretty inviting—looks so refreshing sitting there in a glass with ice.

Right away, there’s this mix of tart and sweet. The pomegranate juice brings in these fresh, fruity flavors, while the tequila adds a little warmth and just a hint of spice.

Both flavors are bold, but they aren’t fighting for attention or anything. The balance is nice—not overwhelming at all.

A light fizz from the club soda gives the drink this bubbly texture that feels kind of playful on my tongue. It’s not heavy or syrupy, which means I can actually enjoy it slowly.

I pick up hints of citrus from the lime juice, and that just makes everything taste brighter. The splash of sweetness, usually from simple syrup, smooths things out without taking over.

If you like drinks that are both tart and sweet, with enough tang to wake up your taste buds, this cocktail really delivers. Personally, I find it super easy to drink, and that pomegranate flavor? It really shines through.
