Teremana Pomegranate Margarita Blanco
About
The Pomegranate Margarita takes the classic margarita template and gives it a bold, colorful twist. Using Teremana Blanco, this version layers in pomegranate juice for a tart, juicy punch, balanced by fresh lime and a touch of agave nectar. The pinch of salt softens the citrus and brightens the fruit, giving the drink a smooth, refreshing flow from first sip to last.
It pours a gorgeous ruby hue and tastes just as lively - crisp, slightly tangy, and perfect for holidays, date nights, or anytime you want a margarita with a little extra sparkle.
Shaken or Stirred? Shaken. It chills the drink perfectly and blends the pomegranate into a smooth, frothy finish.
What You'll Need
Single Serve
- 2 oz Teremana Blanco Tequila
- 1 oz Pomegranate Juice

- 0.5 oz Agave Nectar

Pro Tip: Use 100% pomegranate juice, not juice blends - it keeps the flavor cleaner and the color brighter. For extra aroma, express a lime peel over the glass before garnishing.
