The pomegranate juice naturally sweetens the drink, making it a healthier and delicious choice for your next party. Plus, they’re so easy to drink, you might find yourself making them all the time!
Method
Start by juicing the lime and orange. You can use a juicer or just squeeze them by hand to get all the fresh juice. Once your juices are ready, pour them into your blender along with the pomegranate juice, tequila, and cointreau (or triple sec). Then, add 2 handfuls of ice to the blender and blend everything together until you have a nice, slushy consistency. The blender will break down the ice and mix the ingredients into a smooth, frosty drink.Once your margarita is blended, take your glasses and rim them with salt. This is an optional step, but it adds a nice extra layer of flavor. Once the glasses are rimmed, pour the slushy margarita into the glasses and serve right away. It’s that simple! This drink is perfect for enjoying a sunny day or having a fun time with friends.

Notes
- Blender Tip: When blending, make sure the ingredients are well distributed to avoid any chunks of ice or fruit. The Zwilling Enfinigy Personal Blender is great because it blends everything evenly in just one go, but make sure your blender is powerful enough for this.
- Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer your margarita a little sweeter, you can add a splash of simple syrup or more pomegranate juice, but I find the natural sweetness from the juice to be just perfect!
- Ice Consistency: If the drink is too thick, you can always add a little more juice or water to loosen it up.
