Notes
Pro Tips
- For a richer flavor, use fresh, cold-pressed pomegranate juice instead of bottled varieties with added sugar.
- For a smokier twist, substitute mezcal for half of the tequila.
- Double strain to remove any pomegranate pulp for a smoother drinking experience.
- For a festive touch, rim the glass with a mix of sugar and salt infused with lime zest.
