“Bloody” Pomegranate Margaritas
By Melissa Pitts
Happy Halloween! While you hand out candy, watch a scary movie (or watch the football game!) this year, why not enjoy a bright red, “bloody” margarita? This drink uses bottled pomegranate juice, a splash of lime, triple sec, and smooth white tequila. However, if you were dumped over the weekend with snow, you can also cuddle up with a nice cup of Mexican hot chocolate…BOO!
Ingredients:
- 1½ oz. white or reposado tequila
- 2½ oz. pomegranate juice
- ½ oz. triple sec
- ½ oz. lime juice (optional)
Directions:
- Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker and shake well. Pour contents of shaker into a sugar-rimmed glass (optional) filled with ice. Garnish with lime wedge.
To go with this spooky drink, why not serve some appetizers such as sopes, tlacoyos, or gringas?
