Instructions
I prepare this cocktail with a few straightforward steps:
- Rim my glass with salt by rubbing a lime wedge around the edge and dipping it in salt.
- Fill my shaker with ice, then pour in tequila, triple sec, and pomegranate juice.

Notes
When I want a sweeter cocktail, a touch of simple syrup can be added.
Using fresh lime juice is key for the best flavor.
I love to experiment with different types of tequila for varied taste profiles. Rocks or glasses work great too if margarita glasses aren’t on hand.
