They say variety is the spice of life and this Pomegranate Margarita is a great example. I am a new fan of the exotic pomegranate fruit, with its tangy and slightly sour sweetness. And guess what I discovered? It makes for a wonderful margarita. Try this one and let me know if you’re coming over to the “red” side.

Ingredients:
- 2 ounces gin
- 3 ounces of Pellegrino Melograno E Arancia (Pomegranate & Orange)

This drink is so great for the summer! It tastes just as good as it looks too! The only issue I have is that I seem to drink them as quick as they can be made. Hope you enjoy it!
This looks like summer. Thanks for the recipe.
