Ingredients:

  • 2 oz Premium Silver/Blanco Tequila
  • 2 oz 100% Pure Pomegranate Juice (unsweetened)
  • 1 oz Freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1/2 oz Cointreau or high-quality Triple Sec
  • 1/2 oz Light Agave Nectar
  • 1 tbsp Coarse sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp Lime zest
  • 1 tbsp Fresh pomegranate arils
  • 1 Fresh lime wheel

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the salt: Mix the 1 tbsp coarse sea salt and 1/2 tsp lime zest on a small plate.
  2. Rim the glass: Run a lime wedge around the edge of a rocks glass and press it into the salt zest mixture until the rim is fully coated.
  3. Combine liquids: Pour 2 oz tequila, 2 oz pomegranate juice, 1 oz lime juice, 1/2 oz Cointreau, and 1/2 oz agave into a shaker.
  4. Add ice: Fill the shaker 3/4 full with large ice cubes. Note: Large cubes melt slower, preventing a watery drink.
  5. The big shake: Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 15 seconds until the shaker is frosty and painfully cold.
  6. Strain the mix: Place fresh ice in your rimmed glass and strain the liquid over it.
  7. Add the jewels: Drop in 1 tbsp fresh pomegranate arils. Note: They will naturally settle and float at different levels.
  8. Final touch: Garnish with 1 fresh lime wheel on the rim.
