Ingredients

  • 1-3/4 cups chilled pomegranate juice
  • Kosher salt
  • 1-1/2 cups silver tequila

  • 2/3 cup fresh lime juice
  • Ice cubes
  • 8 lime slices for garnish
  • 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced for garnish

Instructions

  • Pour 1/4 cup pomegranate juice into a bowl wide enough for a margarita glass. Spread the kosher salt on a small plate. Dip the rims of the margarita glasses into the juice and then into the salt.
