Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 tbsp coarse sugar
- 1 lime wedge
- 1 1/2 oz silver tequila
- 1/2 oz Cointreau (or Triple Sec)
- 1/2 fresh lime juice
- 3 oz pomegranate juice
- Dash of orange bitters (or 1/4 tsp orange extract, optional)
- 1/2 oz maple syrup or agave nectar (optional)
- Ice
- Fresh pomegranate seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Start by rimming the glass. Add the sugar to a plate or a shallow bowl, run the lime wedge around the rim of the glass or dip the rim in a shallow bowl filled with water. Dip the rim in the sugar and set aside until ready to serve.
- Cocktail shaker: Add the tequila, Cointreau, lime juice, pomegranate juice, orange bitters, and maple syrup (if using) to a cocktail shaker, add a few cubes of ice. Close the shaker and shake vigorously for a few seconds. Fill the rimmed glass with ice, pour in the cocktail, and top with a few pomegranate seeds. Enjoy!
- No cocktail shaker: pour all the ingredients except the ice into the glass, stir well to combine, top up with ice, a few pomegranate seeds, and enjoy!
Notes
If you don't have a cocktail shaker, you can use a mason jar and pour it into a glass through a mesh strainer.
Drink responsibly.
