What you will need
4 oz Izzy Sparkling Pomegranate Juice
1 oz tequila
1 oz lime juice
3-4 slices of jalapeños
2 tbsp pomegranate seeds
Garnish with lime wedges
This recipe is incredibly straightforward and requires minimal effort. The most challenging part of the recipe is getting the seeds out of the pomegranate, which honestly I eliminated by buying a pre-packaged set of pomegranate seeds. You can make this recipe even more enjoyable by spending that time on the presentation. First I added lime juice to a shallow dish and rimmed the glasses, followed by dipping the glass into salt! Then I muddled slices of jalapeño and the pomegranate seeds in the bottom of the shaker and then I added the tequila and lime juice, shake well! In a glass, I added ice and some pomegranate seeds, then the tequila mixture. Lastly, I topped it with the Izzy Sparkling Pomegranate Juice! Now your drink is ready to enjoy, you can also make this as a batch and just double or triple the ingredients based on the amount you are making! The drink is very visually appealing and delicious, without having to spend hours in the kitchen! As always, you can also adapt the recipe to fit your preferences by adding more or less of any ingredient, depending on your taste.
The Spicy Pomegranate Margarita is more than just a trendy cocktail - it's a delicious and versatile drink that combines sweet and spicy flavors into one satisfying sip.
