Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker
  • Margarita glasses
  • Small plate
  • Jigger

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces tequila
  • 6 ounces pomegranate juice
  • 2 ounces fresh lime juice
  • 1 ounce triple sec
  • 2 tablespoons agave syrup
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Ice cubes
  • Pomegranate seeds for garnish
  • Thin chili slices for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Mix the chili powder and kosher salt on a small plate. Run a lime wedge around the rims of four margarita glasses and dip each rim into the chili-salt mixture.
  • Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Pour in the tequila, pomegranate juice, lime juice, triple sec, and agave syrup.
  • Secure the lid and shake hard for 15 seconds until the shaker feels cold.
  • Strain the mixture evenly into the prepared glasses filled with fresh ice.
  • Drop a few pomegranate seeds into each glass and add one or two thin chili slices on top for garnish.

Notes

Taste the mix before shaking and add a little more agave if your pomegranate juice runs very tart. The chili slices give a visual kick without making every sip too hot, so remove them after a few minutes if you prefer milder heat.
