Servings: 4 margaritas 1x
Ingredients
- 5–6 medium limes, juiced (about ½ cup juice)
- 1 medium orange, juiced (about ¼ – ⅓ cup)
- 1 teaspoon honey or agave nectar (optional)
- 6 ounces tequila of choice*
- 4 ounces pomegranate juice
- Pinch of salt
- Ice
- Sparkling water (plain or lime flavored)
- Optional: turbinado sugar for rim, lime wedges or slices for serving, pomegranate seeds (arils)
Instructions
- In a quart-sized mason jar or small pitcher, combine the lime juice, orange juice, honey, tequila, pomegranate juice, and salt. Stir well and set aside.
- [Optional step] To sugar the glass rims:
- Add turbinado sugar to a small, shallow bowl or small plate.
- Press a lime wedge onto the rim of a glass and drag it all around the rim to distribute a little lime juice around the rim of the glass.
- Turn the glass upside down and dip the rim into the bowl of sugar, turning the glass a few quarter turns back and forth to ensure the entire rim is sugared. Repeat for the remaining glasses.
- Fill each glass ¾ full with ice cubes.
- Pour ¼ of the margarita mixture into each glass.
- Top off with a bit of sparkling water.
- Garnish each glass with a lime slice and a few pomegranate seeds. Serve immediately.
Notes
The margarita mixture in Step 1 can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator until ready to use. Pour over ice and top with sparkling water just before serving.
*For a mocktail, replace the tequila with an equal amount of a tequila alternative (we like Ritual Tequila Zero Proof, Trejo’s Spirits Tequila Alternative, and Spiritless Jalisco 55 Non-Alcoholic Tequila) or use an equal amount of ginger kombucha.
